A Mexican man was apprehended by Border Patrol agents Wednesday after he fled from authorities and rolled his truck spilling marijuana across a roadway south of Amado near Interstate 19, an official said. The man, whose identity was not released, could face multiple charges including transportation of narcotics, said Gustavo Soto, a spokesman for the U.S. Border Patrol Tucson Sector. Agents attempted to stop a 2000 Ford F150 on the I-19 frontage road south of Amado, Soto said. The driver of the truck sped away from the agents and they terminated the pursuit for safety reasons. The agents located the overturned vehicle a short time later and saw more than 60 bundles of marijuana spread across the road, Soto said
The man - a Mexican national in the United States legally - suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries in the rollover, Soto said.

You know that if they would just legalize pot and collect taxes on it we could get rid of all national debt.
