A Juárez man was arrested Wednesday
after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers allegedly found 280 pounds of
marijuana inside steel boxes in a pickup at the Zaragoza Bridge.
CBP officials said the marijuana was in 11 metal boxes that were inside an
exterior toolbox and fuel tank in the bed of a Ford F-250. Alejandro Rodriguez
Torres, 24, was arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling. He was jailed without
bond.
Officials said the case was one of four marijuana seizures Wednesday on the
El Paso border totalling 524 pounds of marijuana.
