A California man is in custody after 160 pounds of marijuana was found on his vehicle.

Indiana State Police say they stopped the car for a moving violation on U.S. 30 in Marshall County.

They became suspicious of possible drug activity while talking to the driver and used a K9 to complete a free air-sniff. The K9 alerted troopers of narcotics, which led them to discover boxes containing vacuum sealed packages of suspected marijuana.

68-year-old Tony Lim was arrested on preliminary possession and dealing charges.

The street value of the marijuana seized by troopers is approximately $300,000.
