"Juan Paz-Guzman, 25, was arrested on June 26, 2024, following a random screening by a Customs and Border Protection officer. He had flown from Los Angeles to San Francisco before attempting to board a flight to Sydney, Australia, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe told SFGATE. Paz-Guzman pleaded no contest in September to one felony count of possession of methamphetamine for sale and admitted a weight enhancement of more than 4 kilograms."
""He was going through SFO at 10 at night, and a customs agent made a random search of his luggage," Wagstaffe said. "He was ticketed to go to Sydney, Australia, and when the agent was going through his luggage, he noticed that in two pieces of luggage there was a false bottom. So they pulled it up, of course, and found in there five heat-sealed packages of methamphetamine.""
