Forget stuffing your saddle with wool — Federal agents just found five kilos of cocaine (street value of $500,000) stuffed inside a saddle.
The saddle had been mailed to Dekalb County, Georgia from Mexico where it was collected by a couple from a shipping center. While it appears to be a Western saddle, judging by the tree, it was definitely an expensive saddle and perhaps could be called a pleasure saddle.
Someone with a sense of humor had dubbed the sting Operation Urban Cowboy!

What a waste of a saddle. Shame on those criminals. Glad they were caught.
Very inventive!
