More than a half a ton of marijuana off the streets after a drug bust late Sunday night in Ector County.
It happened Sunday night around 11:15 at Interstate 20 and West Loop 338 when deputies say they pulled over a pick-up truck driven by 22-year old Luis Alberto Garcia.
After getting permission to search the truck, we're told they found almost 12-hundred pounds of pot.
Street value for all that marijuana, more than half a million dollars.
Garcia, who is from Dumas, was arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana.
