Truck packed with drugs gets stuck at border barrier

Border Patrol agents found a truck packed with drugs stuck on a ramp over a vehicle barrier designed to slow drug traffickers coming into the United States.

Agents from the Border Patrol’s Casa Grande station were patrolling Monday near San Miguel when they spotted the truck, without a driver, stuck on top of the ramp. The truck’s front wheels became wedged in the ramp after the driver drove off the ramp rails, according to the Border Patrol.

A Border Patrol dog detected 314 pounds of marijuana in a concealed compartment under the truck’s bed. The estimated street value of the drugs is $251,200.
