U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found more than $7.5 million of marijuana at the Texas border this weekend hidden in a most unlikely place: a shipment of cotton candy. The drugs were discovered Saturday at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, according to a statement from the agency. Considered the most important truck crossing on the U.S.-Mexico border, the bridge connects Texas with Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Officials say a CBP officer stopped a Freightliner tractor trailer carrying a commercial shipment of cotton candy for additional inspection.
