EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted three men found inside a Jeep Renegade that crossed the Mexican border at San Luis, Arizona, carrying 62 pounds of methamphetamine to Phoenix.
Border Patrol agents on watch along Interstate 8 became suspicious of the vehicle after learning it entered the United States through the San Luis Port of Entry two hours earlier from Sonora, Mexico, with only the driver. It now had three occupants.

The agents initially suspected a case of migrant smuggling, so they drove up to the Jeep only to see the driver begin to proceed erratically, court records show. The vehicle slowed down, and the driver encouraged the Border Patrol vehicle to pass the Jeep; the agents signaled the driver to pull over after that.
Driver Alejandro Vizcarra consented to a search of the vehicle and border agents found two suitcases loaded with clear cellophane packages containing more than 28 kilos of a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine, per a complaint affidavit filed Aug. 27 in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona.
