Border Patrol finds pot-loaded ATV's near Sonoita

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- A rancher's complaints about cut fences and all-terrain vehicle tracks led Border Patrol agents to several ATV's loaded with marijuana.

The Border Patrol says agents responding to the Sonoita-area rancher's call followed tracks and found several four-wheel ATV's loaded with 48 bundles of marijuana on Tuesday. In all, more than 1,100 pounds of marijuana was seized.

The marijuana was apparently being smuggled into the country from Mexico. The smugglers got away.
