FALFURRIAS-A tractor trailer hauling a load of grain did not make it through the Border Patrol Falfurrias check point after a K9 alerted agents to something inside the trailer. Agents discovered 359 bundles of marijuana hidden beneath a load of cotton seed. They say smugglers used metal wires to create a small place to store the drugs. The driver of the truck was arrested and turned over to Homeland Security Investigations. All 9,000 pounds of pot were seized.
