Border Patrol agents stopped a hearse and found marijuana and manure inside a closed casket over the weekend.
Instead of finding a body inside the casket, Willcox Border Patrol agents in Arizona discovered 67 pounds pounds of marijuana and manure that had been used to mask the smell.
A 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling.
Agents became suspicious when the driver of the hearse gave inconsistent stories. Despite the manure, a canine sniffed out the drugs.
Border Patrol agents estimated the marijuana had a street value of more than $33,000.
