Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputies seized more than a ton of marijuana Friday during a traffic stop in the southwest Valley.
Deputies seized 2,700 pounds of the drug with a street value of $3 million.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the suspect, an illegal immigrant, was under surveillance and pulled over for a traffic violation in Rainbow Valley, about 40 miles outside of Phoenix. Deputies arrested Carlos Olivas-Melendrez, 22.
Arpaio said the shipment could have been part of a large-scale international drug ring.
The sheriff's office later raided what was believed was a stash house in the area. Three weapons were confiscated.
