Willcox Border Patrol Agents, from the State Route (SR) 80 Immigration Checkpoint near Tombstone, stopped a hearse and found more than 67 pounds of marijuana concealed in a casket.
Early Saturday evening, agents working near the immigration checkpoint noticed a white hearse travelling north of Tombstone. Upon further investigation of the hearse, agents conducted an immigration vehicle stop at the intersection of Hwy 90 and Hwy 82.
A subsequent search of the hearse led agents to unload the casket, revealing multiple bricks of marijuana concealed within the casket worth over $33K. Also mixed within the bricks were several bags of manure in an attempt to mask the odor of the marijuana.
