US Citizen
Juan Carlos Galan Luperon must have thought he had discovered the ultimate
smuggler's trick when he decided to sneak ten pounds of cocaine into the
country disguised as part of his clothing. Luperon who was returning to the US
from the Dominican Republic via John F. Kennedy International Airport in New
York wrapped the drugs worth $164,000 around his legs and wore his trousers
over them.
US Customs and
Border Protection said Luperon was nervous and 'bursting out of his pants,'
which 'appeared to be rather snug.'
He was taken
to a private search room where the packages taped to his body almost looked
like leg casts.
Luperon could
be charged on the federal level with smuggling charges and will be prosecuted
by New York's US Attorney office.
