$3.1 million on the I-17

On Friday November 13th the Arizona DPS found $3.1 million after stopping a comercial vehicle. The vehicle was moving paper products via the I-17 after it was pulled over the officer suspected some kind of criminal activity and called for a canine unit to come search the vehicle. The canine found no drugs but when the officers searched the back of the vehicle they found four unmarked boxes that looked nothing like the others. There were 61 bundles of U.S. dollars and each bundle coutained around $50,000. The truck driver was questioned and realeased until further investigation.
Arizona DPS has been cracking down on truck drivers and other drivers for drug and people smuggling along the I-17. This is a very good thing and hopefully will stop this from hapening in our backyard. Hopefully this preasure that the DPS is going to make these major durg and other smugglers slow down or stop.
