US MAN ARRESTED IN MEXICO FOR DRUGS

MEXICO CITY (AP) Mexican police have arrested an American man who
was caught allegedly carrying 3 1/2 pounds of heroin in his backpack
at the Cancun International Airport.

Federal police said Dick Wightman was carrying two passports, one
issued in New York and the other in Bogota, Colombia, when he was
arrested Saturday.

Wightman had arrived in Cancun on a flight from San Jose, Costa Rica.
Inspectors found the drugs hidden in clothing in his backpack, the
federal attorney general's office said in a statement.

The office said U.S. consular authorities had been advised of the
arrest. Wightman's age and hometown were not available.
