Jesus, as in the son of God, not my primo in the Bronx, was caught wearing cocaine in Laredo, Texas. Allow me to clarify, a statue of Jesus was confiscated in Laredo, Texas, after it was discovered that the statue was made of cocaine. I couldn’t make this up if I tried.
Drug traffickers mixed as much as six pounds of the illicit white powder into a paste and used it to make a regal statue of the Christian savior, complete with painted-on flowing hair and a gold cape.
Smugglers were likely hoping the statue, which could be worth as much as $30,000 on the streets, would be dismissed by border guards as just another of the hundreds of plaster representations hawked to borderland tourists.
That santo would have brought a whole new meaning to communion with God.
