Earlier this week, Evelio Padilla, a 28-year-old Honduran immigrant, pleaded guilty in federal court to attempting to smuggle drugs into the country using scuba-diving gear and an underwater, cross-border tunnel.

"Drug smugglers will try anything to move their product, even scuba diving in an underwater tunnel," US Attorney Laura Duffy said in a statement.
