AMARILLO (AP) - A man pulled over in West Texas for speeding was arrested after a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper found more than 120 pounds of marijuana in his vehicle.
Texas DPS spokesman Christopher Ray identified the man Monday as 31-year-old Etosha Lynn Price of Florissant, Missouri.
Ray said the arresting trooper had a K-9 with him, who indicated Price was carrying drugs.
The seized marijuana was valued at more than $728,000 and was allegedly being transported from Arizona to Missouri.
Price was booked into the Carson County Jail. It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney.
