El Paso County deputies found more than two million dollars worth of
marijuana Friday after stopping to help a stranded motorist.

The pot was found in the back of a white 1998 white Chevrolet commercial
van on the side of Interstate 10 in central El Paso.

Sheriff's spokesman Rick Glancey says about 2,100 pounds of marijuana
were packaged in plain brown cardboard boxes and wrapped in plastic and
tape.

The driver, 20-year-old Israel Gerardo Munoz, was arrested on a charge
of possession of marijuana.

Based on the markings on the stranded van, deputies went to a nearby
warehouse where they found another 2,000 pounds of drugs, packaged the
same way.
