The alleged drug smuggler was walking across the U.S.-Mexico border, federal officials said.
A 62-year-old man was arrested after he tried to smuggle nearly three pounds of crystal meth inside corn tortillas, federal officials said.
The man was stopped at the Morley Pedestrian crossing in Nogales, Arizona, after sniffer dogs detected something in packages the man was carrying, according to border officials.

The find was followed by another bust in the same area, officials said. An American citizen living in Mexico was arrested after attempting to cross the border into Nogales with nearly $78,000 worth of meth stashed in his SUV, according to federal officials.
