0:00A truck driver from Oregon City got nabbed hauling nearly 200 pounds of marijuana in his big rig on an Alabama interstate.

Earlier this week, an Alabama state trooper spotted issues right away when Sun handed over an invalid driver's license. Turns out he's in the country illegally, which added another layer to the stop. Sun law enforcement are calling this a solid bus that keeps drugs off the roads, highlighting how these inspections catch more than just safety. Violations. It's a reminder of the risks truckers take when mixing freight with felonies. Sun now faces charges for drug trafficking and driving a commercial vehicle without a proper license.
