SAN YSIDRO — A man using a SENTRI trusted traveler pass at the San Ysidro Port of Entry was arrested Wednesday 2/16/2011 by U.S. customs officers after they discovered 637 pounds of marijuana in his car.

The 25-year-old Mexican citizen was entering the United States at about 10 a.m. when a drug dog sniffed out the drugs in the man’s 2010 Toyota Corolla. Customs officers said they found 135 packages of marijuana valued at more than $382,000.

The man was taken to a federal jail in San Diego to await arraignment for the alleged smuggling attempt and has had his SENTRI privileges revoked.

What an idiot-SENTRI is our most treasured item-don't make me pick between SENTRI and the kids!

He won't need it anymore. The less people in line the better!
