Border Patrol: surfers snagged trying to smuggle pot

From the Associated Press:

IMPERIAL BEACH — Border Patrol agents say two men on surfboards have been
arrested after they were found off of Imperial Beach towing another surfboard laden with marijuana.
Border Patrol spokesman Ralph DeSio says the men were arrested late Thursday. They were spotted about 200 yards offshore.
Agents towed them back to shore and turned the suspects over the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
DeSio says the men told agents they were Mexican citizens in the U.S. illegally.
The marijuana was tightly wrapped in bundles weighing 141 pounds and with an estimated street value of $84,600.

    worn baggy jeans, dirty oversized t-shirt and beanie thing on bald head.
