The officer noticed the door handle of the trailer may have been tampered with and asked the driver for consent to search the truck.

In the trailer, police found 594 bundles of drugs, weighing a combined 14,176 pounds. A K-9 was able to confirm the bundles contained narcotics, but police have not stated what the drugs were.

The driver has been arrested and the case is now being handled for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
