Ecstasy Mule's Southern Stash

MAY 18--Let the Ecstasy buyer beware: you never know where that pill has been before your purchase of it. When Jaime Chilberg was arrested trying to smuggle MDMA into the U.S. from Canada, customs investigators found about 950 pills stashed on Chilberg's, um, person. Earlier this year, Chilberg copped a plea to a felony drug count and, as a result, federal prosecutors in Buffalo have just filed legal papers seeking to seize the car--a 2000 Chevrolet Tracker--in which she transported the E over the Rainbow Bridge into Niagara Falls. You'll have to read the below filing to learn of the ingenious methods Chilberg came up with to hide the Ecstasy, which was stamped with a "Bart Simpson logo" and smiley faces and had a street value of about $24,000.
