After officers at the Dennis DeConcini crossing referred Mercedes Jeanne Dukes, 42, of Phoenix, and her 35-year-old passenger, Jenelle Leanne Meyers, of Surprise, for further inspection of a Honda sedan, a CBP narcotics-detection canine alerted to the presence of drugs within the vehicle’s front and rear seats. Officers found nearly five pounds of cocaine, worth almost $51,000, and close to 47 pounds of meth valued at approximately $140,000.
