HIDALGO COUNTY - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, working the Hidalgo/Reynosa port of entry, seized nearly 50 pounds of meth on Tuesday.
A 23 year-old man from Missouri City, Texas attempted to cross the liquid meth inside several beer bottles. A CBP officer noticed something not right with the bottles and sent the man to a second inspection booth. Testing revealed that all twelve bottles contained meth and the man was arrested and handed over to ICE agents for further investigation.
