Another major drug bust happened on the Indiana Toll Road on Monday.

Almost 300 pounds of marijuana were recovered during a traffic stop near Rolling Prairie.

38-year-old Luis Dorantes Perez was arrested for dealing marijuana after a LaPorte County Police officer pulled him over for speeding and erratic driving.

The officer noticed a blanket covering several bulky items in the back of the vehicle.

Over 50 five-pound plastic packages of marijuana were reportedly found under the blanket, as well as over a dozen one-pound packages.

Perez reportedly told police he was transporting the marijuana from Washington to New York.
