NEW YORK: U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents arrested two people Dec. 18 after they found liquid methamphetamine inside a vehicle trying to enter the United States from Mexico.
According to a press release, a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria being driven by a 20-year-old Houston woman was stopped at the Eagle Pass Port of Entry on Dec. 18.
