(CNN) -- Authorities in southern California said the strong smell of marijuana helped them discover $45 million worth of drugs in the back of a tractor-trailer they had pulled over for a traffic violation.

Deputies stopped the truck Wednesday morning, then opened the trailer after finding problems with the paperwork for the load, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office said Friday.

An "overwhelming odor" led investigators to about 20 tons of narcotics stashed in pallets in the back of the truck, including about 38,000 pounds of marijuana, 2,700 pounds of cocaine and 67 pounds of methamphetamine, the sheriff's office said in a statement.

Sheriff Rod Hoops said Friday night the seizure was one of the largest in the county's history.

The truck's driver, Fernando Luevano, 32, was arrested and charged with possession, transportation and sale of narcotics, authorities said.

you started 3 threads in an hour............

with all that product off the streets somebody mad smh

and?

Quit wasting money trying to catch these "decoy trucks". Pot is cheap and it stinks so it's easy to find and catch, meanwhile, the truck with the meth, cocaine, heroin, etc. went right past the agents while they took pictures of all that pot. Legalize pot, and spend the money saved on treatment centers for addiction. The price of pot would drop to nothing and you could really work on the heroin, cocaine, and meth addicts

i agree with that shit.... unfortunately a big marijuana seizure is great publicity but yeah it really accomplishes nothing

and you're a faggot

i couldnt have said it any better...100% true

Yep, while LEO were patting themselves on the back, tons more drugs came in through other trucks, tunnels, boats, etc.

dam man 1227 bricks thats a lotta bread...........
