Indiana State Troopers discovered 20 kilos of cocaine inside a semi truck while performing a roadside inspection on Friday.
The estimated street value of the illegal load is $2 million dollars. Troopers stopped the truck on Interstate 70, on the east side of Indianapolis, around 4.p.m. on October 30th.
The driver, 47-year-old Salvador Tafoya-Bravo, was arrested.
According to CBS-4, Tafoya-Bravo is a Las Vegas resident, and was transporting the load from California to Ohio.
Officers issued a statement, as well as a warning to other traffickers: “If you like playing Russian roulette, continue doing it. Will you get through sometimes? Yes. Will you eventually get stopped, caught, and imprisoned? Yes,” said Police Captain David Bursten.
Police also said they went public with the bust because Tafoya-Bravo has refused to cooperate with the investigation.
