Two Arrested After Large Cannabis Bust On I-5 Near Weed

A very large cannabis bust from last week has been reported by the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office. Last Monday a deputy made a stop on a suspicious looking box trailer on Interstate 5 near Weed. It contained 39 garbage bags with a total of 1,333 pounds of processed marijuana bud. 22-year-old Joseph Genzoli and 32-year-old Matthew Fortezzo insisted they were hauling the load legally but they didn’t have the necessary transport permits and they were arrested.
