SARITA -- Federal authorities seized more than $3 million of marijuana hidden under a load of watermelons.
U.S. Border Patrol agents seized the drugs Saturday at a checkpoint on Highway 77 in Sarita. A drug-sniffing dog found the drugs during secondary inspection of a semi truck.
Border Patrol agents then pulled 179 bundles of marijuana from under a load of watermelons. The drugs weighed about 4,237 pounds with an estimated street value of $3,389,600.
Agents also arrested the 39-year-old man from Veracruz, Mexico, and they seized $1,383 from him.
The driver and the drugs remain in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending further investigation.
