A Canadian woman was stopped yesterday by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol while attempting to smuggle a foosball table lined with more than 50 pounds of marijuana into western New York, authorities told the Associated Press. The woman was stopped at the Lewiston-Queenstown Bridge border crossing near Niagara Falls.

A K-9 unit found 50 vacuum-sealed plastic bags of pot worth about $60,000 stashed in a foosball table in the back of the woman's van. She had told Border Patrol that she was crossing into New York to buy Powerball lottery tickets to try to win the $1.6 billion jackpot. Custody of the woman was subsequently turned over to the New York State Police.

On the same day, a Canadian man in white camouflage was caught pulling a sled with more than 180 pounds of prescription pills worth $1.6 million across the border near North Troy, Vermont. Border Patrol agents discovered the camouflaged man after he triggered a sensor that alerted them to his presence.
