What at first glance appeared to be a cooler filled with bags of frozen ice pops was actually a cooler filled with 9.21 pounds of methamphetamine in colorful bags designed to throw off authorities.

Fox 17 Nashville reported that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confiscated the methamphetamine this past weekend after a canine unit found the drugs during a highway checkpoint in Blythe, California. The agents were from CBP’s Yuma Sector in Yuma, Arizona, but were stationed in California. The agents were conducting an immigration check on Highway 78 when they discovered the drugs.
