What's THE REaction:

This is what $45 Million worth of ILLEGAL DRUGS look like, all stuffed in the back
of a big rig truck in the Inland Empire. The driver was stopped on a "routine traffic stop" and voila. Makes you wonder what's "REALLY" inside some of these big rigs whizzing up and down our freeways day in a day out here in Southern California.

San Bernardino, CA--

Welcome to the "HIGH" way to CALIFORNIA DREAMS, so to speak.

Law enforcement authorities hit pay dirt this week here in the Inland Empire after they pulled over a big rig tractor trailer for a routine traffic stop.

After smelling a "strong odor" of marijuana, officials stumbled upon $45 million worth of drugs in the back of a truck they had pulled over for a traffic violation.

Deputies stopped the truck Wednesday morning, then opened the trailer after finding problems with the paperwork for the load, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office said Friday. An "overwhelming odor" led investigators to about 20 tons of narcotics stashed in pallets in the back of the truck, including about 38,000 pounds of marijuana, 2,700 pounds of cocaine and 67 pounds of methamphetamine, the sheriff's office said in a statement.

Sheriff Rod Hoops said Friday night the seizure was one of the largest in the county's history. The truck's driver, Fernando Luevano, 32, was arrested and charged with possession, transportation and sale of narcotics, authorities said. I wonder who he will rat out, and who was really behind this mega huge drug haul.

Om Friday, also in the IE, another "pot bust" netted $2 Million worth of plants in an upscale quite home in Fontana.

So, stay tuned. More details are emerging.
