Customs and Border Protection officers at Dennis DeConcini Port arrested a male Mexican national living in Tucson for attempting to smuggle more than five pounds of cocaine and eight pounds of methamphetamine into the United States.

Pilar Agustin Gaspar-Corrales, 44, was apprehended after a drug sniffing dog alerted CBP officers to the transmission of his Ford truck containing roughly $170,000 worth of drugs.

Officers seized the vehicle and drugs, and turned Gaspar-Corrales over to the Santa Cruz County Metro Task Force for prosecution.
