Agents in Dome Valley, Arizona, seized more than $240,000 worth of methamphetamine from a Yuma resident on Thursday night after a canine was alerted to an odor that it’s trained to detect during a traffic stop, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Some of the methamphetamine was found stuffed inside the wall of the spare tire.
The 37-year-old driver was arrested and charged with transportation of a controlled substance.
The vehicle and drugs were seized.
