United States Customs officers seized over 100,000 ecstasy pills shaped like Homer Simpson and the Transformers' Megatron from a British Columbia resident's vehicle Friday morning.
Authorities say that they seized 107,734 tablets -- with a street value of over $1 million -- from the vehicle, which was searched at the Pacific Highway border crossing near Blaine, Washington.
Krysta Edwards, 23, of North Vancouver was arrested and faces up to 20 years in a U.S. prison.
Weighing about 60 pounds, the pills were found in a hidden compartment that was built into the vehicle's cargo area and opened by a hidden electrical switch, according to Customs and Border Protection.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs opened Wednesday to make $13.8 million in North American theaters, setting a new record for Hollywood's biggest mid-week opening for an animated movie.
The previous record-holder for a Wednesday opening in the United States and Canada was
Shrek 2, which made $11.8 million on its first day of release in May 2004, according to Hollywood.com Box-Office, a film tracking service.
Box office analysts suggest that while the
Transformers sequel might hold on to the top box-office spot for the Fourth of July holiday weekend, the Fox-distributed
Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs has the best chance for first place overall.
