Cab passenger carried $450K in drugs: Report

An Illinois cabdriver's fare who was taken to a police station because he was passed out turned out to have nearly $450,000 in drugs on him, according to this report:

The cabdriver said he tried to rouse the man for about 10 minutes before driving to the police station. Police searched the man's bag and found bottles of a "clear, crystalline substance" connected by wires to a "power source," which together apparently amounted to a miniature methamphetamine lab, according to a police report.
