Note to drug smugglers: If you get lost while hauling a pot load,
it's probably best to ask directions from someone other than the
Border Patrol.
A 21-year-old U.S. man learned that lesson the hard way on Thursday
night after he approached agents from the Sonoita Station while
hauling a stack of lumber in the back of a pickup truck, a Tucson
Sector news release said.

MIAMI, Jan. 11. - Mexico's Sandra Avila, known as "The Queen of the
Pacific", today asked a federal judge to drop the drug charges that
accused the U.S. government, because the prosecutor committed
"falsehoods" for extradition of Mexico,
The lawyer for the Mexican drug trafficker alleged, Stepehn Ralls
said in an interview that the request to the judge Michael Moore
alleges that "the information given to the Mexican government
prosecutors knew was false or that it was false when the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs gave the order for extradition. "
Avila Beltran, 52 years old, was extradited from Mexico last August 9
and pleaded not guilty in federal court in Miami on charges of
conspiracy to import cocaine and conspiracy to distribute the drug in
the United States.
Ralls said the prosecution based its extradition request, among other
tests, in a telephone call intercepted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Agency (DEA), which eventually took his client.
"This is an interpretation in which nothing is said," said Ralls, who
admitted that in conversation they talk Juan López Correa, a
government informant, Juan Diego Espinoza, boyfriend Ávila Beltrán,
and the very sharp.
Ralls said "it is very likely that the Mexican government had agreed
to extradition if he had known of the falsehoods."
U.S. Prosecutors must respond to the motion of the lawyers of "The
Queen of the Pacific" who is being held without bail. Judge Moore
must decide on it later.
The trial is scheduled to start next February 24, after being
postponed from last September 24 on several occasions.
