 More than a ton of marijuana is off the streets of San Antonio. One man's under arrest, and federal drug agents are looking to arrest a few more.

 

U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents started watching a suspicious semi-truck loaded with sheet rock when it entered the U.S. from Mexico near Laredo several days ago.


They followed it to a the 3300 block of SW Military Dr.


The location used to be a used car lot. But, Tuesday it was being used as a stash house.


Inside, investigators used a K-9 and found marijuana behind a fake wall.


In all, ICE seized 2,612 pounds of marijuana.

 

One suspect has already been arrested and ICE agents may make a few more arrests before the day is over.
