An Ontario woman was stopped at the border with 150 pounds of marijuana while en route to a Detroit hospital to help during the coronavirus pandemic.
A 48-year-old registered nurse from Amherstburg reportedly told customs authorities she was headed to Henry Ford Hospital. Now, she’s facing charges of attempted drug smuggling.
Per the criminal complaint, according to a statement released by the Department of Justice in Michigan, she applied for admission into the U.S.
and presented her Canadian passport and work permit under the Trade NAFTA agreement. Border patrol officers, according to the release, had the nurse open her trunk.
