The man was caught with $160,000 worth of cocaine taped to his legs.
In a report coming out of PIX 11 in New York which stated that Hugh Hall was arrested on March 17th after Customs and Border Protection officers found four packages of cocaine under his pants, a CBP spokesperson said. He allegedly had about nine pounds of cocaine taped to his legs.
“This seizure is another example of our CBP officers being ever vigilant in protecting the United States from the distribution of illicit drugs,” Acting Director of CBP’s New York Field Operations Leon Hayward said.
Hall is expected to face federal narcotics smuggling charges soon.
