Whack-a-mole Drug War: Nogales border agents seize 3,000 pounds of pot in watermelon shipment

Pot and watermelon - now there's a new combination!

Nogales border agents seize 3,000 pounds of pot in watermelon shipment: "A 27-year-old Mexican man tried to enter the U.S. at the Nogales port of entry Wednesday when his truck was pulled aside for an inspection. Officers then found 128 packages of marijuana hidden among bins of watermelon in a trailer being hauled by the truck, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers said Friday.

The agency estimates the pot’s value at nearly $1.5 million."
