She showed up at the border in scrubs and a lab coat, the feds say, then got busted with a trunk full of weed.
A Canadian nurse has been charged with sneaking more than 150 pounds of marijuana into the U.S. by using her medical credentials including a work badge from Henry Ford Hospital to cross the border into Detroit, which is only open to essential travel because of the COVID-19 crisis.
At a time when health care professionals are working overtime to keep us safe, its really shameful that anyone would exploit their status as a nurse to smuggle any kind of drug into our country, U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider said on Thursday, stressing: To stop the spread of the coronavirus, our Canadian border is open only for essential travel."

(1,062 posts)I have no reason to believe anything the purported US says on anything, anymore. Ever. Trump lies and people die.. simple & unequivocal. Moreover, the FEDS steal materials, supplies, and equipment from states without paying... in my book that means they are simply THIEVES or worse Nazi Thieves... you pick. Stealing is stealing and stealing without an explanation is simply what Mafia types do.
