Peru airport officials seized thousands of tarantulas hidden in soiled socks during an attempted smuggling operation. Authorities prevented the illegal import of the spiders. Meanwhile, a former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy was sentenced to nearly six years in prison for attempting to smuggle Pringles cans containing heroin. The deputy was part of a larger scheme involving a detention center.
