Border Patrol agents discovered nearly 400 pounds of marijuana inside a van made to look like a DISH TV work vehicle, officials said.
Agents from the Ajo station found the drugs, worth about $200,000, after the van stopped at the Arizona 85 checkpoint on Wednesday. A drug dog alerted to the vehicle and agents found the marijuana in plain sight inside the van. The drugs were wrapped in brown cellophane tape, according to a news release from Customs and Border Protection.
Agents arrested the driver, a 39-year-old U.S. citizen and seized the van and drugs.
