Man Busted at Border


An International Falls Man faces charges after attempting to cross into the U.S. with marijuana taped to his body.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection says it happened Saturday around 12:30 p.m. as the 24-year-old man was walking to International Falls.

46 grams of marijuana taped to the man's leg was found when Customs officers conducted a secondary examination.

He was later turned over the Koochiching County Sheriffs office for prosecution.
