Feds: 'Highly intoxicated' man tried to enter US via red chile shipment
Feds: 'Highly intoxicated' man tried to enter US via red chile shipment
Published September 07, 2013Associated Press
COLUMBUS, N.M. Authorities say an immigrant suspected of entering the country illegally attempted to make his journey in an unusual but hot place a shipment of red chile.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at a New Mexico border checkpoint said the man was discovered Thursday face down among a commercial load of the spicy stuff.
Columbus Port Director Robert Reza says next to the "highly intoxicated" 35-year-old was a bottle of tequila.
The man, who authorities described as a Mexican national, told agents that he climbed into the commercial hopper while it was being staged in Mexico with hopes of catching a ride to Chicago. But agents said he got less than 100 yards into New Mexico before he was discovered.
The red chile shipment was later released.
