Pembina, N.D. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Pembina, N.D. port of entry arrested a Detroit Lakes, MN, man on December 27 for possession of Crystal Methamphetamine (Meth).

Seth Isacc Ray King, a 35-year-old United States citizen was entering the United States driving a tan Mazda and was referred for an enforcement examination.  During the subsequent inspection, officers discovered 23 small zip lock bags and one larger bag containing crystal meth.

A total of approximately 12 grams of meth was discovered along with other articles of drug paraphernalia.  King was taken into custody and turned over to the Pembina County Sheriffs Office for prosecution. 

“CBP is committed to the mission of securing the nation’s borders,” said Mary Delaquis, Pembina area port director.  “This seizure demonstrates the vigilance and dedication of our frontline officers in securing our border, in helping to keep our local communities safe."

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
