COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. -- A traffic stop on Alligator Alley led Florida Highway Patrol troopers to find more than a million dollars in marijuana.

Troopers say they pulled over a Toyota Camry for excessive window tint and a move over violation on I-75 Wednesday. 49-year-old Owen Onfroy is identified as the driver.

K-9 Baca alerted troopers to 115 pounds of marijuana inside the trunk.

Onfroy was placed under arrest for felony drug possession and trafficking.
