A Texas man has pleaded guilty to trying to smuggle two Mexican nationals in a flag-draped coffin while telling a Border Patrol agent the tattered casket contained a dead “Navy guy,” federal prosecutors said.
Zachary Taylor Blood, 33, of Galveston, was stopped by US Customs and Border Protection agents as he drove a gray van modified to transport caskets at a checkpoint near Falfurrias in the Lone Star State on Oct. 26, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas said Tuesday.
The agents spotted a coffin in the back of Blood’s van, prompting them to ask what he was hauling, federal prosecutors said.
