3 Teens Caught With Half-Ton of Pot on Boat

Share

(Newser) – Three US teenagers returned from Mexico from what they claimed was a fishing trip with quite a catch: more than half a ton of marijuana stuffed beneath the deck of their boat. The three—two males ages 18 and 19 and a 19-year-old female—were arrested when they docked their 22-foot boat in San Diego, the Union-Tribune reports. A drug-sniffing dog got wind of the cargo, worth an estimated $636,000.

Hmm, bringing in the stuff from Mexico; could it be that the grass is greener on the other side? Or were they working on their college funds? I assume they'll have plenty of time to think about this one. Reply

Not necessarily greener, just cheaper. It was probably Mexi-schwag which you can mark up and sell for way more that what you bought it for on this side of the border. Not that I know about such things. ;)
