Bird Brained Bootlegger Busted By Bulging Briefs

Apparently, coach wasn’t the only crowded compartment on this flight.

Alberto Hernandez Castillo arrived in Miami from Havana and declared he wasn’t bringing in any animals.

According to federal agents, his pants told a different story.

Officers spotted the “unexplained bulge” near his waistband. A pat-down allegedly revealed six plastic tubes, taped up and sewn into his underwear, with ten live birds inside.

Castillo reportedly said the birds were for “personal use.”  Which somehow makes the whole thing sound worse.

Authorities say he lacked the required import documents. Now he’s charged with smuggling goods into the United States.

Those birds already knew how to fly. They just got booked on the worst connecting flight imaginable.
