An esteemed physics professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is sitting in a jail in Argentina as he fights charges he tried to smuggle drugs out of the country, relatives and U.S. State Department officials said.

Paul Frampton, 68, of Chapel Hill, N.C., was arrested in Buenos Aires on Jan. 23. He is currently being held at Devoto Prison and U.S. consular officers have visited the British-born particle phenomenologist twice since his arrest and have provided appropriate assistance, a U.S. State Department spokesperson told FoxNews.com on Tuesday.

Frampton -- who "absolutely did not" try to smuggle drugs out of the South American county, according to his ex-wife -- told The News & Observer that 2 kilograms of cocaine were cleverly built into a piece of his luggage without his knowledge. The drugs were discovered in his checked bag en route to Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

In 1987, Paul Frampton was the Project Director, for siting the Superconducting Supercollider, in North Carolina.

This "Superconducting Supercollider" was to be 3 times bigger than the Large Hadron Collider in Europe

It was cancelled in 1993 due to "budget constraints"

Or was it...
