Man’s Tight Pants Leads To A Drug Bust At JFK

Do these pants make me look fat? A man who arrived at JFK airport last Friday was quickly arrested in customs for having, very obviously, 10 pounds of cocaine strapped on his person.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers described the man identified as Juan Carlos Galan Luperon as “busting out of his pants,” when he arrived in New York from the Dominican Republic. The contents of his pants would sell for an estimated $164,000 (U.S. dollars.)

The New York City Customs and Border Protection shared this photo.

As if it wasn’t obvious enough that he was smuggling something, an officer said, “During his examination, Mr. Luperon exhibited numerous signs of nervousness and his pants appeared to be rather snug.” Two peas in a pod have more room to play than Luperon did.

He has been arrested and is being charged for smuggling an illegal substance.
