Border Patrol Seizes 190lbs of Meth in Arizona, Uses ATVs To Capture Mexican Nationals Fleeing on Foot

John R. Modlin, the Chief Patrol Agent of the U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector in Arizona, revealed that his agents captured nearly 200lbs of methamphetamine as it was being trafficked into the United States by Mexican nationals.

“Ajo agents apprehended three suspected drug smugglers with almost 190 lbs. of methamphetamine south of #Why, AZ,” wrote Modlin.

He added that the “suspected smugglers attempted to flee on foot but were no match for #ATVs.”

The Mexican nationals, their belongings, and the drugs were then transferred to the Homeland Security Investigations’ office in Phoenix, Arizona.

Methamphetamine use in the United States continues to rise, and the CDC reports that overdose deaths associated with the drug have risen in tandem.

Worse, perhaps thanks to drug traffickers from outside the United States, meth has started to appear in parts of the United States where it previously remained scarce.

In 2018, a national survey revealed that meth use is almost twice as common as heroin use.
