Arizona Department of Transportation officers found 3,650 pounds of marijuana on a commercial truck after stopping it on I-17 south of Flagstaff.

Officers stopped the north-bound truck near milepost 337. A commercial truck inspection revealed the truck contained approximately 37 duffle bags full of marijuana.

The bags were found behind various produce packing in the rear of the trailer. A K-9 unit was called to the scene and alerted to the duffle bags.

The produced load, including peppers, cucumbers and eggplant, was picked up in Yuma and headed for New York.

According to police reports, the produce will be turned over to the broker but the marijuana and truck were seized as evidence.
