Federal authorities say a Mexican man is in custody for allegedly trying to smuggle nearly 1,900 pounds of marijuana into southern Arizona in a shipment of squash. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say the 40-year-old man was stopped Monday at the Port of Nogales for an additional inspection of the tractor-trailer he was driving.
A drug-sniffing dog alerted authorities to marijuana inside the shipment and officers found three pallets of pot worth nearly $943,000. The name of the man arrested hasn't been released. He's from Nogales, Sonora. CBP officials say he was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
