A 30-year-old man was arrested after US Board Patrol agents caught him attempting to paddle 24 pounds of marijuana into the United States on his surfboard near Imperial Beach, California, according to a story on KTLA.com.
Agents spotted the man, identified as a Mexican national, on a surfboard approximately 200 yards off-shore paddling north of the international border in Imperial Beach early Sunday. The surfer was holding a blue duffel bag which he released into the water while he continued to paddle north, according to Border Patrol officials.
After arresting the man the bag eventually floated ashore and officers found nearly $74,700 worth of weed in the bag.
