3 months agoTip-off led to Australian woman's 44-pound SFO meth bust, DA says
A 25-year-old Australian woman faces felony drug trafficking charges after 44 pounds of meth were found in her luggage at an airport.
Investigators discovered a suspected methamphetamine laboratory and seized a substantial quantity of illegal substances, along with numerous firearms, during a search of the suspect's residence.
"Her action complicated the case, according to the prosecutor. It had a different upshot for Noem, who is one of Trump's staunchest allies, seeking to bolster her national credibility through a hard-line stance. This controversy regarding her characterization of tribal lands and involvement with illegal immigration speaks volumes about her political maneuvering."
