Two Cumberland County men admitted to possession of four pounds of methamphetamine packaged as Mexican candy in Louisiana Federal Court last week.
Javier Munoz, 51, of Vineland, and Beljavier Rodriguez, 26, of Millville, each pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine.
The two men were arrested Sept. 9, 2016, after the drugs were found during a stop on Interstate 10 in Lake Charles.
The officer found a secret compartment underneath the car that contained two bags that appeared to be professionally printed bags of Mexican candy, according to the charges.
Inside the bags were 21 individually wrapped bags containing methamphetamine that weighed a total of about 4 pounds.
The men are scheduled to be sentenced June 11.
Munoz faces 10 years to life in prison with at least five years of supervised release and a $10 million fine. Rodriguez faces as long as five years in prison with three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.
