As the 2005 Chrysler minivan crawled down 26th Street, its driver lowered a window.

Out wafted a scent that was unmistakable: marijuana.

Unfortunately for the man behind the wheel, the smell didn't go unnoticed . . . by a nearby squad car.

Police pulled over the minivan Saturday on West 26th and made quite a large discovery: roughly 355 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of nearly $1 million. snip

Pesqueira, of Tucson, also was cited for having a fictitious driver's license. It showed an expiration date of 2048, police said.
