[XLE420]

Police in Muskogee have seized 165 pounds of marijuana and arrested one man following a traffic stop.

Police say Juan Gaona Junior was stopped last night after an officer saw the U-Haul truck he was driving cross the center line of U-S 69 twice.

Officer C-B Abel says Gaona appeared nervous and gave conflicting information about where he was going. Abel says Gaona gave permission to search the U-Haul.

Police say seven bales of marijuana worth about 192-thousand dollars was found inside a large-screen television that was gutted and converted into a storage container.
