McALLEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Border Patrol agents caught an 80-year-old man with more than 345 pounds of cocaine on Wednesday, according to the criminal complaint against him.

Luke David Brader, 80, of Bay City — a small town southwest of Houston — stopped at the Border Patrol checkpoint near Falfurrias on July 1.

Cucumber haul used to smuggle $3.7M in cocaine, CBP says
Brader was driving a white Dodge 2500 truck with a white box trailer attached. His wife, Susan Jordan Brader, 74, of Bay City, was sitting in a passenger seat.

When they stopped for an immigration inspection, a K-9 “alerted to the front wall area of the trailer,” according to the criminal complaint.

Must have thought that Clint Eastwood movie was a road map to riches.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Yeah, my first thought: I saw that movie!
