Woman found with nearly 89 pounds of meth at border in Brownsville

A 50-year-old Georgia woman remains in federal custody after she tried to cross more than $1.3 million worth of Methamphetamine at the Veterans International Bridge in Brownsville, authorities said.

The drugs were hidden inside the tires of a Ford Ranger, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers.

The incident happened sometime Friday.

Authorities said the woman, who was driving a 2002 Ford Ranger, was sent to a secondary inspection area at the bridge where four statues believed to be molded out of methamphetamine were found. Additional packages of the drugs were found stuffed inside the truck’s tires.
