(Texas) - You typically don't suspect a drug smuggling suspect to be an elderly person but U.S. Customs and Border Patrol busted an old woman Monday trying to smuggle 17 pounds of heroin into El Paso, Texas from Mexico.
The woman is 75 years old and is now facing smuggling charges. Investigators say she packed away bundles of heroin in her purse and inside her 2008 Ford Escape. She was busted on Monday trying to cross the border. Her name has not been released but investigators say she is a U.S. citizen.
