A 16-year-old Tucson girl was arrested after Border Patrol agents found her hiding 9 ounces of fentanyl in her bra, Customs and Border Protection said.
The teen was in a commercial shuttle van Wednesday evening and was selected for further questioning by a Border Patrol agent at the Interstate 19 checkpoint south of Tucson. It was then discovered the girl was hiding a package of fentanyl — a powerful synthetic opioid — in her bra. An agent found it contained smaller packages of capsules of fentanyl.
The girl was arrested and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
