WATCH Man who claims to be going from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania in a U-Haul truck busted with 700 pounds of cannabis worth around $3.5 million in Ohio

A routine traffic stop by the Ohio State Highway Patrol resulted in the discovery of a major drug bust.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol released video of them stopping a U-Haul in Cambridge, Ohio, after it was spotted crossing the line.

Troopers stopped the driver on Interstate 70 near milepost 186 and identified him as Ivan Fortunato, 33, who claimed to be driving from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania.

During the stop, troopers asked Fortunato if they could look in the back of the truck, and he agreed.

Troopers discovered stacked plastic totes full of weed in the back of the truck rather than furniture.

Troopers say there was over 700 pounds of weed worth approximately $3.5 million on the street.

Fortunato was charged with felony trafficking and possession of drugs.
