Tucson smugglers toss marijuana and flee before being arrested

Border Patrol agents assigned to the Willcox Station arrested two Tucson men east of Tombstone who tossed multiple bundles of marijuana from their Dodge Charger while attempting to flee from agents on Sunday night.

Agents attempted to stop the vehicle south of Pearce, Ariz., but the driver fled toward Tombstone while bundles of marijuana were being tossed from the vehicle.

The suspects stopped the car to flee on foot and were later arrested and identified as U.S. citizens ages 23 and 25.

Agents recovered more than 200 pounds of marijuana, estimated to be worth around $100,000.

The suspects and marijuana will be processed in accordance with Tucson Sector guidelines.
