Federal authorities indicted a California man for allegedly trying to carry 71.5 pounds of clothes soaked in meth on a flight from Los Angeles to Australia. Those clothes included a cow onesie.
Law enforcement officials say they arrested a 31-year-old man after scanning his two checked bags. Inside, they say, he had light-colored clothes that were allegedly covered in dried methamphetamine.
Photos from the Justice Department show that the cow-themed pajamas were in the haul, along with underwear, T-shirts, towels and other clothing.
Police arrested the suspect while he was waiting to board the flight.
U.S. attorney Martin Estrada said this situation is part of a trend. In a statement, he said, “Drug dealers are continually inventing creative ways of smuggling dangerous narcotics in pursuit of illicit profit.”
The suspect faces an arraignment on Monday, Dec. 2, on charges of methamphetamine possession with intent to distribute. If convicted, the charge comes with a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison. The maximum sentence is life in prison.
