We hope he drank the scotch before adding the H! On New Year's Eve customs officials stopped Miami man Wilfer Bohorquez Rojo, 53, as he allegedly tried to smuggle 25 pounds of heroin from Medillin, Colombia, to Newark Airport. At first authorities just thought he had smuggled the drugs in "packages of plastic flags and between glued photographs" but further inspection found he'd filled four Chivas Royal Salute scotch bottles with "packages of a substance that also tested positive for heroin, according to the agency."
After the discovery of the drugs—estimated by authorities to be worth at least $700,000—Rojo was turned over to authorities and now faces federal narcotics smuggling charges.
This is just one more fun bust by local Customs agents in the holiday season. Last month they also found a whole lotta cocaine stuffed in "unusually heavy" balls and $300,000 in counterfeit bills in a bag's fake bottom. Bottling heroin, though? That's a new one to us.
