A federal grand jury in Laredo has indicted a woman for allegedly smuggling cash and firearms into Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said on Tuesday.
Lizzette B. Jaimes was charged with smuggling defense articles and approximately $100,000. If convicted, Jaimes faces up to 10 years in prison and a possible $250,000 maximum fine.
Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. Customs and Border Protection conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Makens is prosecuting the case.
The case unfolded on Jan. 18, when a Toyota Tundra arrived at the Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge.
