Yates was originally pulled over for following another vehicle too closely, but the presents in the back smelled a little too suspicious in his rented Ford Expedition.

The officer called in the K-9 unit and confirmed that it was marijuana hiding in the "presents."

In fact, Yates was carrying 71 pounds of marijuana, 360 THC pills, and a pound of hash wax oil.

Yates is being charged with drug possession and trafficking.

Police are still unsure as to why Yates was in Ohio and where he was going.
