As the unofficial holiday for cannabis enthusiasts, 4/20, approaches, many people around the world are gearing up for a day filled with celebration, snacks, and, of course, cannabis. However, for some celebrities, their celebrations have hit a snag when passing through the Sierra Blanca checkpoint in El Paso, Texas.
Located about an hour and a half east of El Paso on I-10, the Sierra Blanca checkpoint is notorious for catching individuals in possession of marijuana. Despite its inevitable nature for travelers heading east, some celebrities have failed to avoid getting caught at this checkpoint, leading to some memorable encounters with the law.
From surprising highway stops to infamous mugshots, the list of famous faces who have been caught at this particular checkpoint continues to grow. While some celebrities may be expected to make the list, others may come as a surprise.
As 4/20 approaches, it’s crucial to remember the legal implications of marijuana possession in Texas, where it remains illegal. While the day may symbolize marijuana culture and advocacy for legalization, it’s essential to consume cannabis responsibly and within the confines of the law.
In Texas, law enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents face a tough battle in catching drug smugglers attempting to enter the United States. They have discovered drugs hidden in some of the most bizarre and unexpected places, showcasing the dedication of U.S. Customs and Border Protection in preventing illegal drug trafficking.
As the day approaches, it’s essential to stay informed, celebrate responsibly, and avoid any encounters with the law while commemorating 4/20.
