An Arizona man is behind bars in York County after literally a ton of pot was found in the back of his moving truck.

The Nebraska State Patrol stopped 56 year old James Valimont on Interstate 80 near Bradshaw.

This is what they found when they opened the truck: 101 bundles of marijuana. The total weight: 2,395 pounds.

Valimont is facing a charge of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.
