Lionel Messi caught up in Marijuana scandal

Colombian man arrested for trying to disguise 11 kilos of marijuana as, errr, Lionel Messi...

Colombian police have arrested a man in Sabanalarga, Colombia, for possession of 11 kilos (24 pounds) of marijuana which he had stashed inside a large framed portrait of Lionel Messi.

Franklin Zuniga Vargas was trying to transport the drugs via a public bus, but Colombian police stopped it and arrested him after receiving a tip off that the portrait was more than it appeared on the surface.

Vargas is still waiting to be charged and is being held in Sabanalarga.

Love how you've portrayed this.

Knew there was going to be some twist like this involved.

If it was crack it be like inception. Crack withing a crack.

Crack-ception.



Only Gordon will know what I'm talking about.

My heart actually stopped for a second.
