Zachary Blood pulled up to the Border Patrol checkpoint outside Falfurrias, Texas, with a flag-draped coffin stowed behind him, according to the Department of Justice.

A “dead guy, Navy guy” laid inside of it, the 33-year-old Galveston man told border agents on Oct. 26, a news release said.

But the casket looked wrong, officers at the checkpoint thought. It was worn out or banged up, in “poor condition,” and the American flag atop was attached with packing tape, the Jan. 25 Justice Department release said.

Suspicious, they pulled Blood’s modified van-turned-hearse aside for a closer, secondary inspection, the release said

You'd think that if you were going to try and pull a brazen, illegal, stunt like that, that you would at least put some serious effort into making it look real.

Thank God for stupid, lazy, criminals.
