Ohio State Highway Patrol Troopers thought there was something fishy about the way Andrea Celaya Rodriguez was driving a box truck on I-70, so they decided to pull her over. Troopers say the 27-year-old Arizona woman made an unsafe lane change, didn’t have her headlights on in the rain, and was following the driver ahead of her way too closely.
When they pulled her over, officers noted she seemed very nervous plus told an unusual story about why she was traveling.
That’s when they brought in a K9 officer to check out the truck. The drug-sniffing dog alerted to the possibility of drugs.
Officers searched the truck and found 100 lbs of cocaine wrapped in separate packages. The street value of those drugs is $1.75 million.
Officers arrested Andrea Celaya Rodriguez for trafficking in drugs and possession of drugs, then booked her into the Franklin County Jail. She faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
