California man accused of having ecstasy in Peru

Bringing along a bottle of aspirin for a cross-country road trip is understandable but 500 pills of ecstasy makes you look like a drug dealer.

James Nichols of Ontario, California was arrested early Friday morning after getting stopped in Peru.  Police say they found 500 pills of the drug.

Nichols was arrested for unlawful possession of controlled substance with intent to deliver.  He was being held in the La Salle County Jail.
