PHOENIX - The Department of Public Safety made the largest marijuana seizure in agency history last week when they stopped a cattle truck loaded with more than two tons of pot.

The truck, which was loaded with 68 head of cattle and 4,535 pounds of marijuana, was stopped while it was traveling on the Interstate 10, east of Tucson.

The DPS officer arrested Juan Francisco Aguayo, a Mexican citizen with permanent resident alien status who was driving the truck.

The largest marijuana seizure following a traffic stop used to be about 4,100 pounds, according to the Arizona Highway Patrol Division.
