Feds Bust Man With 51 Turtles in His Pants. THEY SPOTTED 'IRREGULAR BULGES' |
Xu has been in custody since his arrest in September 2014. Weeks before his arrest, he was under surveillance in Detroit. After picking up a box at a UPS site, he hid behind trucks and emerged with "irregularly shaped bulges" under his sweatpants, per a wildlife agent. Xu returned to Ontario but was stopped by Canadian border authorities, who found 51 live turtles in plastic taped to his legs, including box turtles and terrapins. Despite the bust, "he did not cease smuggling turtles. He did not even slow down," Woodward said. (Another smuggler was caught at LAX with 450 pork tamales.)
