A San Fernando Valley man was indicted Tuesday for allegedly possessing clothing caked with methamphetamine, including a cow pajama onesie, while preparing to board a flight from Los Angeles International Airport to Australia.
Raj Matharu, a 31-year-old resident of Northridge, is charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. The meth-caked clothing consisted of over a dozen pieces packed into two suitcases.
Matharu is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, Dec. 2 in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles. He is free on a $10,000 bond.
“Drug dealers are continually inventing creative ways of smuggling dangerous narcotics in pursuit of illicit profit – as alleged in the facts of this case,” said U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada. “In the process, they are poisoning communities throughout the world. Law enforcement is committed to fighting drug trafficking, knowing that every seizure saves lives.”
