Police in Texas discovered nearly four tons of marijuana packed into a tanker truck when an officer pulled over the driver on a routine traffic stop.

The $3.4million drug bust came in San Patricio County, Texas, on Tuesday when a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper stopped the 1999 truck for a cargo inspection - something troopers routinely do for commercial vehicles.

The driver, Paul Anthony Simmons, 45, was arrested for possession of marijuana. He is being held on $1million bail.

It's not clear where Simmons' truck had come from or where it was bound.
'It's a big, significant seizure,' Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Sergeant Johnny Hernandez
