QUARTZITE, Ariz. — U.S. Border Patrol agents say they've seized about 25 pounds of cocaine and arrested a man suspected of smuggling at a southwestern Arizona checkpoint.
Agents working the Highway 95 checkpoint Wednesday near Quartzite referred a pickup truck for a secondary inspection after agents observed suspicious behavior by the driver.
After receiving consent to search the vehicle, agents say they found 10 individually wrapped packages of cocaine concealed in the backseat of the vehicle.
They say the narcotics have an estimated street value of more than $228,000.
The truck's driver was turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration for prosecution. His name hasn't been released.
