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.
