FLORENCE, Ariz. -- Pinal County authorities have seized more than
1,200 pounds of marijuana from a big rig that was hauling squash and
arrested the driver from California.
Sheriff's officials said 59-year-old Norberto De La Vega, of Los
Angeles, was being held Friday on several drug-related offenses. He
doesn't have a lawyer yet.
Authorities said the marijuana has an estimated street value of
nearly $925,000.
A deputy patrolling Interstate 10 pulled over a semi-truck for
traffic violations Wednesday. As he approached the big rig, he said
he smelled marijuana and De La Vega acted nervous when asked to see
his load paperwork.
A drug-sniffing dog alerted authorities to the trailer, which had 32
large cardboard vegetable bins. Sheriff's officials said 1,243
pounds of marijuana was in duct-taped packages hidden under the squash.
Earlier this week, customs officers stopped a truck and found
marijuana hidden in bell peppers.

something we have to pay attention."

on alert to detect false patrol vehicles and have instructions to
arrest those not identified.

and turned over to federal corporations both the Army and the Navy
and Federal Police to have them knowledge

precautions and report if it detects a patrol cloned.
"If someone suspects that a vehicle is not official official wants to
pass as we denounce it, and we would be stopping that vehicle faster

always looking for strategies, new ways to achieve their goals, "he

Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, but also come to Sonora and see what they
have been doing well for several years and learned to replicate it
here and use it in other states, "said Guillermo Tenorio Xiuh Antiga.
