A Texas man was arrested before he could board a flight to London after 75 pounds of marijuana were found in his luggage at Miami International Airport, authorities said.<\/p>\n

According to the report, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers were conducting inspections at MIA due to the “high trend of narcotics being smuggled outbound from USA.”<\/p>\n

Tiernan, who was traveling to London’s Heathrow Airport, had checked two bags for the flight, and when they were searched, were found to contain 65 vacuum sealed packages containing a green leafy substance, the report said.<\/p>\n

The substance was tested and found to be marijuana, with a weight of 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, the report said.<\/p>\n

Tiernan was arrested and booked into jail. He appeared before a judge on Sunday who set his bond at $20,000, and he’ll have to wear a GPS monitor if he posts bond.<\/p>\n

The incident is just the latest of\u00a0several recent drug trafficking arrests at MIA<\/a>\u00a0that includes an\u00a0arrest last month of a woman from California<\/a> and of a woman traveling to the Dominican Republic<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Texas man was arrested before he could board a flight to London after 75 pounds of marijuana…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":196901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[25921,77857,27,29,28],"class_list":["post-196900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-miami-international-airport","tag-miami-dade-county","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=196900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/196901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=196900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=196900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
