Florida man tries smuggling crack across Canadian border in loaf of bread

[UrbScotty]

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Vermont say they found a hollowed out loaf of bread stuffed with drugs inside a Florida man's car.

Tyrone Dixon, 34, was arrested Tuesday.

Border officers say they became suspicious of Dixon when he made an illegal U-turn near the crossing in Derby Line. They searched his car and say they found the loaf of bread stuffed with 84 grams of crack cocaine. They say they also found heroin on his passenger, Emily Lasell of Vermont, plus what they believe were empty heroin packages and used needles in the car.

Dixon is charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. He was released on conditions pending his next court date. If convicted he faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million.
