An Ohio man is accused of money laundering after state police found a large stash of cash in the spare tire of his car.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety officials said that officers stopped a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer on Tuesday going southbound on Interstate 17 in Cordes Junction for moving violations because it looked suspicious.

During a search, they found $245,393 in cash stored in bundles in the spare tire, according to DPS.

The driver, Wayne Mullins, 62, of Medina, Ohio, was arrested on suspicion of money laundering.
