American Man Arrested in Argentina With 55 Vials of Poppers at Buenos Aires Airport

Argentine customs officers arrested 27-year-old Braiden John Wilson at Ezeiza Airport in Buenos Aires after allegedly finding 55 vials of butyl nitrate, commonly known as poppers, in his luggage. Officials said the quantity was unusually large compared with similar seizures, which typically involved only a few vials. Wilson reportedly said the substances were for personal social use and that he did not intend to sell or smuggle them. He was charged with attempted smuggling of drug contraband but later reached a probation agreement. The deal required payments to a public children’s hospital and for reparations, with authorities allowing seized cash to be used after he reportedly struggled to pay.
