El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents seize 113 pounds of methamphetamine
Release Date Fri, 05/23/2025
 
INDIO, Calif. – El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a 27-year-old man, who is a United States citizen, suspected of smuggling 113 pounds of methamphetamine. The total street value of the drugs seized is an estimated $96,500.
 
A 27-year-old man was arrested for suspicion of drug-related offenses.
 

On Monday, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Indio Station agents conducted a vehicle stop on a black pickup truck pulling a trailer northbound on Highway 86 near Indio. A Border Patrol K-9 trained to detect concealed people and illegal drugs alerted to the vehicle and trailer.

During an initial search of the trailer, agents found a compartment containing a crystal-like substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine. The subject, vehicle, and trailer were transported to the Indio Station for further investigation. A subsequent search of the trailer revealed 36 packages of the crystal-like substance hidden in three compartments in the trailer’s floor.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The driver should have first gotten a personal protection order against the authorities from a federal judge before trying to smuggle the dope. :whistle:
