A guy brought more than just his motorized wheelchair into a North Carolina airport.

According to US Customs and Border Patrol, Alexander Lopez-Morel, 22, was reportedly hiding 23 pounds of cocaine inside his wheelchair when he arrived at Charlotte Douglas International Airport from the Dominican Republic on Thursday.

In a field test, the material found placed in the wheelchair’s cushions proved positive for cocaine.

Four parcels containing cocaine were found in total. The narcotics are worth an estimated $378.000.00 on the market.

Lopez-Morel was detained and charged with felony cocaine distribution.

Homeland Security Investigations special agents, Queen City’s Border Enforcement Security Team, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department were given the wheelchair for examination, according to the agency.

“This seizure exemplifies the constantly changing border environment in which CBP officers work at CLT.” “Our officers are committed to adapting and responding to these threats in order to prevent narcotics from reaching our communities,” CBP Area Port Director Charlotte Barry Chastain said in a statement.

Investigators aren’t used to seeing people try to transport narcotics in wheelchairs through airports, according to the special agent in charge.

“Having someone pose as a handicapped person and have a wheelchair stuffed with cocaine is unusual in an airport environment.” “That’s something we’re more used to seeing at land borders, particularly the southwest border,” Prado added.

He believes that hiding cocaine in a wheelchair demonstrates the lengths to which certain people would go in order to transport narcotics. He expressed optimism that removing the narcotics from the streets would deal a major blow to the criminal organization with which Lopez-Morrel is associated.
