Pretend You Don't See Me

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol

Granted, the gray cloth was covering the man before he was discovered but did he really think it would work?

In an effort to hide like a labrador under the living room curtains, a man attempts to sneak into the U.S. undetected at the Otay Mesa port of entry Thursday.

Agents arrested the driver of a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt after they discovered a man hidden inside the speaker box in the car’s trunk.

The driver, a 45-year old man from Covina, Calif. presented his U.S. passport to the agent who then flagged the car to move to a secondary inspection.

While searching the car, agents said they found a 37-year old man curled up in a large speaker box in the trunk of the vehicle, without any documents allowing his entry into the U.S.

The man was held as a material witness in the prosecution case and handed over to the U.S. Marshals Service.
