Dogs Sniff Narcotics Among Body Parts

Border Patrol agents found $5.5 million worth of marijuana and cocaine stashed among body parts in the back of a truck at a checkpoint in Falfurrias, 80 miles north of the Rio Grande. Agents made the discovery searching bins full of dirty hospital laundry in the truck after a drug-sniffing dog went after it, said the patrol’s Leti Garza. She said the Drug Enforcement Administration believes the body parts came from hospitals in the area and were used to try to mask the smell of the drugs. Garza said the driver of the truck, Jose Angel Cisneros, 39, of Corpus Christi, was arrested on drug charges.
