Right on schedule, authorities have revealed that a man was caught with a pound of cocaine in his underwear at JFK International Airport in Queens, N.Y. last month. 

According to U. S. Customs and Border ProtectionRomario Lewis was stopped at the airport back on April 16 after returning from Kingston, Jamaica. During an inspection, Customs and Border Protection officers uncovered Lewis' feeble smuggling attempt: two packages of cocaine found near his groin. In a statement, the agency says that both packages tested positive for cocaine, and DEA stats said the quantity is worth $19,000 on the street. 

Lewis was arrested on narcotics smuggling charges and placed in the custody of Homeland Security Investigations. Something similar literally happens like clockwork each month.
