Episode Details

Portland International Airport is becoming a hotspot for major marijuana busts, with a recent arrest involving 53 pounds of suspected weed in checked luggage—just the fifth such incident this summer. The suspect, Sumner, initially claimed the bags held only clothes, but after being shown the evidence and a second suitcase was searched, authorities found another 30 pounds. TSA screeners flagged the drugs before they could even board a flight to Denver. With similar seizures reported in May and July, law enforcement is on high alert as traffickers continue to try to move massive quantities through the airport. Sumner’s arraignment is set for Tuesday morning.
