The Canadian County Sheriff's Office found about 115 pounds of marijuana in a vehicle being hauled from Los Angeles to Memphis, Tenn.

Local media report that deputies talked to a driver at a truck stop about 6:15 a.m. Sunday and searched the vehicle the driver was hauling.

Inside, deputies say they found several bundles of marijuana. The estimated street value is about $650,000.

Deputies interviewed the driver and do not believe the driver knew about the drugs inside the car.
