Authorities say a Canadian man was arrested while pulling a sled carrying more than 180 pounds of prescription pills across the border into the US.
The US attorneys office says 21-year-old Cedrik Bourgault-Morin was apprehended early on Wednesday after he crossed the border from Quebec along a railroad line into North Troy, Vermont.
Prosecutors say Bourgault-Morin was wearing white camouflage and border patrol agents were alerted to his presence when he triggered a sensor.
Prosecutors say agents found 300 vacuum-sealed bags of anti-anxiety Xanax pills in a duffel bag on the sled. They say the pills had a street value of $1.6m.
Bourgault-Morin was being held on Thursday in a Vermont prison. His attorney has not returned a call seeking comment.

Selling our overpriced pills back to us because his country legally allows themselves to negotiate pricing whereas we pay ten times as much for the same thing.
Checks all the boxes. Should have brought some Cuban cigars too to diversify though.
