So Now He Gets Bagels And Locks

It sounds like someone was going to have an unusual bar mitzvah:

A Hamilton, Ont., man faces federal drug charges after he allegedly tried to smuggle about 250 pounds of hydroponic marijuana into the United States on Tuesday with his regular commercial shipment of frozen bagels, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials announced.

Stipan Krak, 49, was bound for New Jersey with the bagel shipment when he tried to enter the U.S. at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge.

Officers found six duffel bags that contained more than 250 vacuumsealed bags of marijuana.

“The marijuana has an estimated street value of over $750,000,� said Kevin Corsaro, public affairs officer for the agency.

It couldn’t have been for a bar mitzvah. It wasn’t Chinese food.
