A driver in Siskyou County was arrested last week while carrying more than a Ton of Cannabis in a U-Haul trailer. On October 21st a Sheriff’s Sergeant was behind the pickup truck pulling the trailer northbound on Interstate 5, and he said it was being driven erratically so he pulled it over. Before contacting the driver, 36-year-old Omar Jacob Gonzalez, the Sergeant walked past the trailer and caught a strong whiff of the cargo’s odor. When he opened the trailer doors he found it was stuffed with large black garbage bags full of Marijuana, which turned out to weigh 2,254 Pounds. Gonzalez was booked into jail.
