Drug K-9 Sniffs out Drugs Smuggled in Dog Food

Something hilarious just arrived in my inbox from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

A drug-sniffing dog discovered quite a load in some bags of dog food being smuggled into the US in El Paso today. From the release:

CBP officers opened the trunk and noticed large bags of dog food that appeared abnormal. CBP officers probed the bags and discovered marijuana. CBP officers opened the bags and removed 30 marijuana-filled bundles from the dog food. The drugs weighed 31 pounds. The driver, a 25-year-old Mexican male from Ciudad Juarez, was turned over to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Department for prosecution.


Take a look at the photo, attached with the release:

Borrego Update: Don't Expect Charges Soon

I had a thought over the weekend. Let's say you walk into a retail store and steal something, like a pair of sneakers or a pair of jeans. There's a good chance you're going to get arrested, charged and booked, if you're caught.

But if you allegedly steal 3.3 million dollars from tax payers, it takes a little longer than that. It takes months. So far former district business manager Kathy Borrego has not been booked or charged even though a state audit says she took 3.3 million dollars by writing out more than 500 district checks to herself.

According to the District Attorney in Santa Fe County, there still needs to be "much more investigating" on the huge embezzlement case involving Jemez Mountain Schools.

Last week District Attorney Angela R. "Spence" Pacheco told me there is still a huge amount of paper work (evidence) that needs to be looked at and documented. She said "thousands of pages." Pacheco couldn't say when charges could be filed. From her conversation with me I got the sense it will be quite a while even before the case can be presented to a grand jury.
