Officers at Los Angeles International Airport arrested a man after he allegedly tried to smuggle meth-baked clothing, including a cow pajama onesie, in his luggage (Department of Homeland Security).

A California man faces at least a decade behind bars after trying to smuggle meth-caked clothes — including a cow onesie — in his luggage for a flight bound to Australia from Los Angeles.

Raj Matharu, 31, pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said in a press release. He faces at least a 10-year minimum prison sentence and will learn his fate at a sentencing hearing scheduled for Oct. 20.

As Law&Crime previously reported, Matharu was traveling on United Airlines Flight 839 from LAX to Sydney on Nov. 6 and checked pink and gray suitcases before heading to the gate. Screening officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent the luggage through a X-ray machine which allegedly revealed an “anomaly,” a criminal complaint said

Officers opened the suitcases that had Matharu’s name on them and found they were filled with “white or light-colored clothing items that were dried stiff and covered in a white residue,” cops wrote.

One of the clothing items was an adult-sized cow pajama onesie. Other items included both men’s and women’s clothing such as socks, sports bras and boxers, the affidavit said.

The residue tested positive for methamphetamine.

CBP approached Matharu at the gate and took him in for an interview. He allegedly admitted the suitcases belonged to him but requested a lawyer and declined to speak further.
