US Customs Bust 60 Year Old Lady

Looks like Granny’s up to no good. A 60-year-old woman and her son were busted about as hardcore as it gets by the US Customs & Border Patrol.
On Tuesday, damn early in the morning, Carmen Franco and her son Ramon Franco entered the Columbus, New Mexico entry port. Officers decided to give her car some face-to-face time and discovered a hidden compartment in the bumper. Ouch. Stuffed in the bumper was 198 pounds of weed. That’s a cool $200k in South-of-the-border cheeba. Someone back in Mexico is going to be really pissed off about that. They even found a small bonus bag filled with 83 grams of cocaine.
Customs agents showed up after the bust to arrest Carmen and her son. They were charged with, “importation of a controlled substance and possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.”
Another day, another failed attempt at getting drugs into the US.
