The West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Florida man who was in possession of over a million dollars worth of marijuana. They say this is the largest amount of illegal contraband they’ve ever confiscated from a vehicle.

500 pounds of marijuana were taken from the vehicle. They believe it was being taken from Mexico to Florida.
