At Los Angeles International Airport, officers detained a man who reportedly attempted to smuggle meth-infused clothing, including a cow pajama onesie, in his luggage (Department of Homeland Security).

A California man is looking at a minimum of ten years in prison after being caught trying to transport meth-coated attire — featuring a cow onesie — in his luggage on a flight from Los Angeles to Australia.

Raj Matharu, 31, admitted guilt on Monday to a charge of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California in a press release. He is facing a minimum of a 10-year prison term, with his sentencing hearing set 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.
