According to Sgt. Chuck Harvard, the drug bust took place Sunday night on I-10 in Beaumont. Havard says a trooper found the drugs after pulling over the driver of an 18 wheeler who failed to signal a lane change.

i know waay too much about pot LOL
596,000$ ????? my butt!!! almost 4K per pound? they inflate those numbers to make themselves look better.
sure if you sold it all in VERY small quantity it would be around there, but the actual value of that much (wholesale ) is WAAAAYYYYY lower more around 300K if bought in LB increments. mexi-crap isnt worth much anyways.
