743 Pounds of Marijuana Found in Septic Tank Truck

In a messy drug bust this week, investigators uncovered more than 700 pounds of marijuana stuffed in a septic tank truck full of human waste, Arizona police said Friday.


And the search of the truck was as awful as it sounds.

"Yeah, that really does suck," Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves told CNN. "It's a long way to go to make a bust."

Hidden in the holding tank of the truck were 743 pounds of pot, worth about $409,000 on the street, police said in a news release.

An officer pulled over the septic tank truck Wednesday after a check of the license showed it was invalid, police said. The truck was headed northbound on I-19 and stopped about 35 miles south of Tucson, Arizona. Police patrolling the area tend to be more vigilant, Graves said, because the interstate -- which leads directly to Mexico -- is a major thoroughfare for drug and human trafficking.

"It just shows how desperate these drug cartels are," Graves said. "They'll go to any lengths to conceal their product. We've seen it concealed [among] watermelons, bell peppers. This is the first time we've seen it concealed in human waste."

Police arrested the driver, Leonard Salcido, 24, of Tucson, and charged him with possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale and transportation of marijuana, police said.

True story...

Out in rural Alabama, there are often no regulations on septic tanks, and many older homes have a cesspool, basically an open pit well away from the dwelling. Growing up, I knew this guy who lived in such a home, he was a Vietnam vet with a few screws loose, and an avid pothead. He always smoked joints, never a bong, and after he would roll a joint, he would flush all his seeds and stems down the toilet.

Some time in the mid 80s, he passed away, and me and some friends were out at his place helping the family sort through his things, and we somehow stumbled upon the cesspool... there, surrounding the pool in all their beautiful glory, were the tallest, most abundant pot plants I have ever seen in my life! Some were over 8 ft. tall, and had stalks like a small tree! Apparently, these had been growing there for years, and no one ever knew.
 
My great-grandfather Cyril lived on a farm in Nebraska (he lived to be 103 and died in like 1995). Back in the day, some teenagers would go out on Halloween and vandalize the neighboring farms such as tipping over outhouses. One Halloween, Cyril went out early and move his outhouse, covering up the hole.

The tradition of vandalism stopped after that.
