Accidental drug smuggling

Bad things happen to good people.  It's been scientifically proven.  I think. 

In this case, it's part of a trend, a pattern.  The victim?  A hardworking mother and teacher.  What happened?  She was targeted by drug smugglers because she crosses the Mexican-US border daily for work, like clockwork.

She teaches in Texas, and was scoped for a good bit of time.  Smugglers got keys made for her car, and slipped in 100 pounds of marijuana in two suitcases.  She was crossing the border, as if it were any other day, and was pulled over for inspection.  Normally, she keeps all belongings in the front seat for easy viewing by the border guards.

She'd never seen the suitcases before, and wasn't lying.

She wasn't the first victim, or the last, either.  As this occurred in Mexico, an operation over the border was being ran against the specific people who targeted her.

She spent a short time in jail, massive support was lobbied for her freedom, and information was garnered which exonerated her fortunately.  I guess good things can happen to good people, too.

Pretty sure the entire scenario is like an extremely bad dream for anyone.
