Border officials at the Paso del Norte International Bridge seized a cargo of cocaine from a car trying to cross into the United States.
Court documents showed that Christopher Herman Barrio was arrested on Jan. 22 after being caught smuggling almost 40 pounds of cocaine. He allegedly said members of the criminal organization known as "La Linea" had paid him $1,500 to smuggle drugs into the U.S., and that he had been paid before for successfully smuggling a smaller amount and delivering it.
