Baloney! Woman fined at U.S.-Mexico border for 227 pounds of contraband sausage

[TexasTowelie]

A woman in El Paso was fined Wednesday for trying to sneak 227 pounds of contraband bologna into the United States.

Talk about the wurst day ever.

Customs and Border Patrol officials say the woman approached the Paso Del Norte border crossing around 7 a.m. Wednesday and said she had no fruits, vegetables, meat or other contraband.

But, she said during a second search, there was the salchicha, or sausage.

Bologna is considered contraband due to the possibility of spreading foreign animal diseases to the U.S. pork industry, and officials found 23 rolls of Mexican bologna under the floor mats of the woman's car.

The contraband racked up a $1,000 fine, and could have netted more than 1,800 cold cut sandwiches.
