Customs officers seized more than 25,000 Ecstasy tablets from a hidden compartment in the rear end of Smith’s car after she sought to enter the United States from Canada, Chief Kevin Corsaro said.
Corsaro estimated the street value of the seized drugs at $500,000. He said Smith told authorities she was returning to the U. S. after visiting family in Toronto.
