A woman who is yet to be named has been busted by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Texas while smuggling fentanyl pills in her vagina. Some people are desperate to make money using illegal means.
TMZ got the details of how things turned out;
According to CBP officers working at the Bridge of the Americas border crossing in El Paso, the woman, a 40-year-old American citizen, was intercepted earlier this month trying to smuggle fentanyl pills into the U.S. stuffed inside a condom, which she then hid inside her vaginal cavity.
The agents say a CBP canine alerted officers, who then conducted a pat-down search at the pedestrian crossing … and officers say the woman then voluntarily removed a condom filled with fentanyl pills from her vaginal cavity.
It appears the actual pills were inside a custom container shaped to fit inside a vagina … and that container was then wrapped in a condom.
You might be wondering, just how much fentanyl could one woman shove up there … well, in this case at least, CBP says they recovered 0.006 pounds of the powerful drug.
Fentanyl deaths are WAY UP.
After a catastrophic increase in 2020, deaths from drug overdoses rose again to record-breaking levels in 2021, nearing 108,000, the result of an ever-worsening fentanyl crisis, according to preliminary new data published on Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The increase of nearly 15 percent followed a much steeper rise of almost 30 percent in 2020, an unrelenting crisis that has consumed federal and state drug policy officials. Since the 1970s, the number of drug overdose deaths has increased every year except 2018.
A growing share of deaths continue to come from overdoses involving fentanyl, a class of potent synthetic opioids that are often mixed with other drugs, and methamphetamine, a synthetic stimulant. State health officials battling an influx of both drugs said many of the deaths appeared to be the result of combining the two.
Drug overdoses, which long ago surged above the country’s peak deaths from AIDS, car crashes and guns, killed about a quarter as many Americans last year as Covid-19.
