Puzzled U.S. border police arrested a Mexican smuggler with 88 pounds of cheese in a hidden compartment in his truck.
Officers at the port of entry in Columbus, N.M., referred the pickup for a routine examination, said Customs and Border Protection spokesman Roger Maier. When they saw 16 packages in the compartment behind the seat, they expected to find what they usually do: marijuana, heroin or cocaine. Not cheese.
