Florida K-9 Praised for Making a $5.6M Marijuana Bust

Disregarding the fact that even a sea sponge would pick up the odor of 624 pounds of marijuana, the Florida Highway Patrol nonetheless is praising the "super-sniffing skills" of one of its K-9s for helping officers make a big drug bust earlier this week.

The incident occurred on Tuesday after FHP officers stopped a U-Haul driving through Orlando, the agency tweeted on Friday. The dog alerted the officers to something in the back of the vehicle, which turned out to be several bales of weed. The FHP says it has a street value of $5.6 million.

The driver and a passenger were taken into custody. Charges are pending, an FHP rep says.

With marijuana being legal in several states, are you surprised that smuggling operations this big are still going on? Do law enforcement agencies inflate the street value of drug seizures?
