Today in Found at the Border: A Mexican teenager trying to cross the border into the United States this weekend who may have looked a little excited to see border officers just had a lot of meth in his "groin area."
The 16-year-old, whose name wasn't released by authorities, had a pound-and-a-half of meth in his underwear, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Of course, there's a photo (luckily, from the back-side) of this youngster with his methy groin area:
The stash was discovered after officers referred him for "additional questioning" while he tried to go through the pedestrian gate at the port of entry in Nogales.
The 1.5 pounds of meth is valued at $23,000.
That same day, Friday, a Nogales man tried to bring 26 pounds of cocaine back into the United States by hiding the stash behind the seats of his car, while a Mexican national used the same method in an attempt to bring in 13 pounds of heroin, and another Mexican woman tried to bring in five pounds of meth in a cooler hidden under the passenger seat in her car.
As usual, all four of these people were turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
