NOGALES, Ariz. (KGUN) — The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has prevented a person from trying to sneak an AK style assault rifle out of America.
Port Director Michael W. Humphries confirms on Saturday, Jan. 21, officers came across a person while working their usual rounds.
The person had skinny jeans with an oversized jacket. However, officers must've apparently noticed a lump pushing through the left side of the pants.
When they had the person unzip the puffer jacket, it revealed the rest of the AK style assault rifle.
