A 61-year-old man was arrested for cross-border drug trafficking after police linked him to a Jesus statue made of cocaine. Bernardino Garcia-Cordova admitted the statue was his after the woman, who was paid $80 to carry two religious statues over the Mexican border, led police to him. She told authorities she did not know the statue was made of drugs and invited them to follow her when she was to drop off the statues at a bus station. That's when they found Garcia-Cordova.

Authorities said Monday that a 10-year-old Mexican boy glued his hand to his bed because he was still not ready to go back to school after the Christmas vacation. "I thought if I was glued to the bed, they couldn't make me go to school. I didn't want to go, the holidays were so much fun," the boy Diego told AFP.
