During the inspection, officers discovered 50 packages of methamphetamine hidden inside the doors and tailgate of her 2003 Dodge Ram truck.
Officers seized the drugs, which are valued at more than $153,000.
The suspect was charged with drug smuggling, and was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
