I dont pay much for my weed, so I never have much

Interesting news story in the OC Register today
A Santa Ana man was in custody Tuesday after Imperial County sheriff's deputies arrested him on suspicion of transporting 75 pounds of marijuana in his truck about an hour from the Mexican border, officials said.

Francisco Preciado, 23, was stopped and arrested Monday on Highway 86 in Salton City, Imperial County Sheriff's Department deputies said.

Officials found an estimated $60,000 worth of marijuana hidden in a secret compartment inside Preciado's truck, officials said.

Deputies said they arrested Preciado and booked him at the Imperial County Jail on suspicion of possession of marijuana, transportation of marijuana and having a false compartment in his vehicle. Preciado was held Tuesday in lieu of $25,000 bail.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said they searched Francisco Preciado's truck at a checkpoint and found the marijuana during the inspection. Agents noticed that the bed and fuel tank area of Preciado's Chevrolet Silverado showed signs of tampering, officials said.

Agents used a Fiberscope kit to look inside the fuel tank, where they found several brick-shaped packages. Border Patrol drug-sniffing dogs smelled something near the fuel tank of the Silverado. Agents said they removed 27 packages of marijuana weighing 75 pounds from the fuel tank.

It's unclear whether Preciado was transporting drugs across the border.

In MHO this proves we dont even give an illegal transporting drugs fair estimated value on his dope. So dont open a club in Imperial Valley they wont even give you $800 a pound on the press release they make. If that bust had been made in OC the estimated value would have at least been $500,000, Our sheriffs bustsed a guy with 4 small plants and healines were plants worth over $10,000 found inside home! Anyways moral of the story, dont get busted.
