A couple by the name of Gary and Yanira Maldonado, who live near Phoenix, Ariz., traveled to Mexico last week to attend a family funeral.
On the day BEFORE THEIR ANNIVERSARY, their bus was stopped at a military checkpoint where soldiers ordered all passengers off the bus.
Later soldiers told the couple that marijuana was found under her seat and the seat next to hers…and Yanira was arrested.
The couple were the only U.S. citizens on the bus – and if drugs were truly found on board, they were already there when the couple sat down.
Yanira Maldonado had been transferred to a holding facility in Nogales.
“When he [Gary] got there they said, ‘we don’t have any record of her at all"
Officials confirmed Yanira Maldonado was, in fact, in Nogales and her husband was able to visit her Saturday
