Drug smugglers have shown no end to new ways to bring drugs into the U.S.
On Tuesday, authorities said a Canadian scuba diver tried to smuggle $40,000 worth marijuana into the U.S. by swimming across St. Clair River in Michigan, the Lansing State Journal reports.
The scuba diver, who has not yet been identified, was spotted around 1 a.m. towing a big bag in the river.
When the man emerged from the water near Marine City, he was arrested by Border Patrol agents, the Journal reported.
He was found with a large, watertight PVC cylinder full of more than 8 pounds of high-quality pot.
