Meth and cocaine hidden inside shipments of cauliflower, frozen strawberry puree and charcoal through Laredo have a Mexican national facing life in prison.

A federal jury convicted 30-year-old Wblester Echeverria this week following a five-day trial. Federal prosecutors say a Dallas cell helped push over 23-thousand pounds of meth worth 157 million dollars through Laredo.

Investigators kicked off the case at the World Trade border bridge by seizing over 26-hundred pounds of drugs hidden in cauliflower. Echeverria stays jailed facing up to life in prison and a 10 million dollar fine.
