Mexicali-(MT) A U.S. Border Patrol agent in California is still trying to explain what happened after he stopped three young boys driving a pick-up truck along a remote highway near the Mexican border city of Mexicali last weekend. He suspected they were carrying a load of pot, and decided to check the vehicle, handcuffing the suspects, placing them into his own squad car and then returning to the suspicious truck to search for evidence.
