Almost 500 pounds of marijuana packaged in "Little Hugs" juice boxes were seized from a truck Monday night in the northbound lanes of Interstate 17 at Union Hills,
At about 7:30 pm, a DPS officer stopped a semitractor-trailer rig for an equipment violation, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
During a search of the truck, the police officer discovered four pallets of the marijuana-filled juice boxes. The 471 pounds of marijuana has an estimated street value of $250,000, according to a police statement.
The driver of the truck, Keith Bailey, 33, was headed from Phoenix to New York State, according to police. He was arrested and booked into the Maricopa County jail.
Packaging the marijuana in juice boxes was unique, according to Sgt. Bart Massey of the Arizona Department of Public Safety Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Bureau.
"It looks like they put a lot of work into this," Massey said in a statement.
