McALLEN — Federal and local authorities seized more than two tons of marijuana from a house Tuesday afternoon.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Arnoldo Gonzalez Garcia, 31, at the house on the 3300 block of North 27th Street.

When ICE agents and McAllen police officers went into the home, they found 4,495 pounds of marijuana stashed inside. Authorities also seized a gun and several rounds of ammo.

Gonzalez, a Mexican national, made an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in McAllen on Wednesday. He faces federal charges of conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana.
