NBC News reports a Venezuelan veterinarian arrested by U.S. Marshals in Spain more than two years ago for allegedly stuffing liquid heroin into the bellies of puppies to smuggle drugs into America was extradited to New York City Monday ahead of a Tuesday federal court appearance in Brooklyn.Marshals escorted the vet, Andres Lopez Elorza, to a waiting black car after he arrived at John F.
