(KSL News) -- Highway Patrol troopers who stopped a truck in Monticello last week helped bring down a drug ring stretching from Utah to the East Coast.

The couple inside the truck allowed officers to search it and the troopers found 800 pounds of marajuana inside.

Drug enforcement agents drove the truck to the East Coast, received money for making the run and arrested more people.

The highway patrol says the street value of the marajuana was about one million dollars.
