(WWJ) U.S. Customs and Border Protection is lauding the seizure of some marijuana and a handgun at the Blue Water Bridge.
On Sunday, March 7, officials say CBP Office of Field Operations officers encountered a 42-year-old man who was trying to enter the U.S. at the bridge in Port Huron after being refused entry into Canada.
CBP Officers conducted a secondary vehicle examination and discovered an unregistered handgun, 32 rounds of 9mm ammunition and a peanut container which actually contained marijuana with a total weight of 27.29 grams.
"This was a great team effort by our officers" said Acting Port Director John Nowak.

The handgun and marijuana were seized by CBP in accordance with federal law, officials said.
It's unclear what charges the man may face.
Michigan residents and visitors should note that while it's legal in Michigan to posses marijuana in certain amounts, and to sell it with a license, pot remains a controlled substance under federal law and illegal — in any amount — to bring across the border.
