[NYPOST] An undocumented Democrat was arrested in South Dakota while transporting $12 million in methamphetamine — the largest single seizure of the drug in the state highway patrol's history, Gov. Larry Rhoden announced on Monday.
The 42-year-old man, who was not identified, was pulled over during a traffic stop by the South Dakota Highway Patrol while he was speeding on Interstate 90 in Sturgis, roughly 100 miles west of the Wyoming border, according to a blurb from the governor's office.
Turns out the driver was carting a staggering 207 pounds of crystal meth in his vehicle — roughly the same weight of an adult black bear.
Authorities emptied out his vehicle and recovered the stash, which has a street value of approximately $12 million, according to the release.
The suspect was ''found to be a non-citizen and is now in immigration proceedings,'' according to the release. His country of origin and where he was detained are unclear. |
