A pair of Houston men taking watermelon into Mississippi remain in custody after authorities found about $100,000 worth of marijuana in their truck.
The driver, Gregory Thrasher, 49, and co-driver Ivan Bravo, 27, were arrested about 7 a.m. Monday at a truck inspection station in Pike County, Miss., authorities said.
The inspectors became suspicious of the pair because they didn’t know each other, said officials with the Mississippi Department of Transportation.
They searched the watermelon-filled trailer and also found six large bundles near the front containing about 100 pounds of marijuana, officials said.
Thrasher and Bravo were taken into custody and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and conspiracy to deliver marijuana.
They are being held without bond at the Pink County Jail, authorities said Tuesday.
