The 235 packages of pot weighing 1,950 pounds and valued at $1.17 million was discovered Monday after the bananas were off-loaded from a truck for inspection and sniffing by a drug dog.
The 40-year-old Mexican driver of the truck was arrested and detained at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
About 2,000 trucks pass through the cargo facility for documentation and inspection. Last Thursday, customs and immigration agents also seized packaged marijuana weighing nearly 4,000 pounds hidden in a shipment of pepper and green beans.
