Summit County sheriff's deputies recovered millions of dollars in marijuana then followed the trail to its alleged distributors.
It was in what some call a "suicide load," basically a pickup truck bed loaded with marijuana with just a cover over the top. In the cab, there were two duffel bags and a large garbage bag also full of marijuana.
Detective Josh Wall says officers arrested the driver and contacted the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). "Their officers and local officers transported the narcotics out to Wisconsin, where three additional arrests were made," he said.
Wall says that in all, there were more than 400 pounds of marijuana in the truck. That's about $3 million on the streets.
