Marijuana Found In Paint Cans

EL PASO, Texas —

Customs and Border Protection Officers seized more than 60 pounds of marijuana hidden in paint cans.

Officers stopped a Chevrolet pickup truck crossing from Mexico at the Bridge of the Americas last Tuesday.

A nervous driver prompted a search of the truck, which turned up the paint cans.

An X-ray determined the cans contained 59 bundles of marijuana.

The 36-year-old driver from Juarez was arrested.
