Guy gets 25 years for helping smuggle drugs
Why do I bother being honest? Why don't I move to the border and help smuggle illegals and drugs? Hell, everybody else is. Let's see, 53, no priors, plead insanity, I probably wouldn't get anything more than 6 months and probation. Of course, if I made any money they'd take it. Oh, well.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time
A man was sentenced in Tucson on Thursday to 25 years in prison in the funneling of more than 17,000 pounds of cocaine through a drug tunnel on the Arizona-Mexico border, officials said.
Francisco Valle-Hurtado, 38, of Naco, Son., guarded cocaine loads with a machine gun after they passed through the tunnel in Naco between 1996 and 1999, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
During the investigation, an additional 2,600 pounds of cocaine, three machine guns and $1.5 million were seized, the office said.
More than 50 people connected to the tunnel have been convicted, officials said. Five are being sought.
