Egg Smuggler Nabbed

Jennifer Mayo, a 46-year-old from Aransas Pass, surrendered to authorities for smuggling Dong Tao Chicken eggs and hatchlings into the U.S. This act violates import laws due to disease risks in poultry. If convicted, she could face 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The seized chickens had to be euthanized for health reasons. The case is under further investigation.
