NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - A Canadian man faces drug charges after United States border agents say he tried to smuggle five pounds of methamphetamine across the border from New York.
Customs and Border Protection officials say 21-year-old Karone Johnson of Thorold, Ontario was taken into custody at the Rainbow Bridge Thursday while leaving Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Customs officials say Johnson was the subject of a random inspection at the bridge when officers noticed the screws of a speaker box in his car appeared to have been tampered with. They say that when the officers removed the speaker they found five packages of drugs.
Johnson was detained and turned over to Homeland Security.
It was unknown if he had a lawyer.
