Police arrest man with gold, drugs
Bolivian police say they've detained a 76-year-old US citizen with more than 55 kilograms of gold. Anti-narcotics chief Santiago Delgadillo says Robert Agnew Meyer was also found with a small amount of cocaine and several kilograms of silver coins. He puts the value of the gold alone at more than $1.5 million. Delgadillo says the man is being investigated for possible smuggling, though he has not been charged. Police didn't say where Meyer is from or how long he's been living in Bolivia.
