Now we hear from the U.S. Border Patrol that another truck driver was nabbed with 9,500 pounds of pot marijuana hidden among a load of watermelons.
Border agents at the Mariposa port of entry say they stopped the unnamed, 40-year-old Mexican man driving a big-rig full of watermelons on Tuesday night.
The truck was stopped for an agriculture inspection, but drug drug-sniffing dogs indicated to officers that the driver was hauling more than just melons.
After inspecting the truck thoroughly, border agents discovered the 9,500 pounds of weed.
The agents confiscated the stash, which probably has someone pretty pissed off -- authorities listed the street value of all that chronic at about $21 million.
After the bust, the driver of the truck was turned over to ICE agents.
