A man was arrested off the coast of San Diego trying to swim into the US
using a duffle bag full of marijuana as a floatation device.
US Border Patrol Agents arrested the unidentified man on Sept. 19 after
spotting him approximately 600 yards from shore just north of the
U.S./Mexico border.
The swimmer was floating on a duffel bag holding more than $23,000 in illegal drugs.
Inside the bag, federal agents said they found seven bundles of marijuana weighing more than 50 pounds.
The man, described as a 55-year-old Mexican citizen, was taken into custody.
