HOLY BALONEY! MAN SMUGGLING MEAT IN FROM MEXICO

FOR the eagle eyed agents, used to spotting drugs, guns and sometimes people being smuggled over the border this was a first - man smuggling Balogna across the border.
Clearly the man loves his meat - enough to try smuggle 76 pounds of the the illegal lunch meat from Mexico by hiding it in a spare tire. It's not clear whether it was for personal use or he intended to supply it, but either way guards at El Paso, NM were less than impressed. Port Director Hector Mancha told KRQE: “This is a highly unusual seizure because of the concealment method.

BIZARRE MEX BOLOGNA SMUGGLER FINED $1000


HE wasn't smuggling drugs or illegally trafficking people across the border and his contraband can't have been worth much to begin with.
But that didn't stop one man trying to smuggle illegal meat across the Mexico, US border - 385 pounds of bologna to be precise.   
Yes he's definitely in a pickle after being fined $1000 for his trouble because it's illegal to bring the bologna across the border because it's made of pork and has the potential to introduce foreign animal diseases into the U.S. pork industry. The 33-year-old Mexican man might have made a real pigs ear of his smuggling attempt but he has however set a record for the largest ever bologna bust  recorded at the Santa Teresa crossing NM.
