A Woman Is Busted Smuggling Weed, Because Her Kids Weren’t Wearing Seat Belts
A woman got busted for drug trafficking last week, all because she did a better job protecting her weed than her kids. A 23-year-old woman named Karla Munoz from Arizona got pulled over in Memphis, Tennessee last week because a trooper noticed that her five-year-old and seven-year-old kids weren’t wearing seat belts. She said she was driving them to a wedding, which isn’t really an excuse for the seat belt thing, but whatever. Anyway, the trooper got suspicious and asked if he could search the car, and she said yes. And, the cops found 116 pounds of marijuana hidden under the floorboards. The compartments were covered with lead so that X-ray machines wouldn’t spot the weed when she crossed the border from Mexico. Karla was arrested for felony drug possession, but as far as we know, she didn’t get a ticket for her kids not wearing seat belts. Get more here.
