South Dakota cops seize $12M of crystal meth from illegal migrant

[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.

So now he is in immigration proceedings.
Will he serve time for his crime?

Because, if he is deported more than likely he'll get a tap on the shoulders and do it again.

OR he'll become plant food for losing $12m of the Drug Lords $$$$.

#3 The speed limit on I-90 there is 80mph, so he must have been moving pretty good.

I like the new weight measurement, 'Number of Bears'.

#4 100 miles west of the SD Wyoming border puts you 100 miles into Wyoming.

#5 ^^ West, East, journalism majors usually can't tell the difference.

The article is in the New York Post, so everything is 'west'.
