Tennessee Highway Patrol cop stops truckers, finds $4 million in stashed drug cash


A minor traffic stop cost a pair of suspected drug traffickers $4 million in stashed cash.

Armando Guzman, 42, and Francisco Javier Cruz, 44, were pulled over by Tennessee state troopers over the weekend as they drove their 2005 Freightliner tractor-trailer westbound on Interstate 40, authorities said in a statement Wednesday.

The Highway Patrol officer became suspicious of the pair, who hail from California, and got permission to search the vehicle. Local police arrived and inspected the vehicle using police dogs.

"Officers discovered that duct-taped bundles within sealed cases of bottled water filled the trailer," police said in a statement.

Inside the bundles was $4,078,713 in cash.

"I-40 is one of the top drug-trafficking corridors in the nation," said Department of Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons. "This seizure reflects the importance of interdiction efforts by law enforcement."

Police have seized the truck. Guzman and Cruz were charged with interstate travel with intent to promote a drug-trafficking conspiracy.

The bust is part of the Interdiction Plus program, a statewide law enforcement initiative begun in 2007. It is led by the Tennessee Highway Patrol and includes at least 300 officers from 115 local law enforcement agencies across the state.
