Drug-sniffing dog Havoc alerted officers to the drugs in two bags. Police identified the 26-year-old California man who brought them because his name was on the luggage tags, according to the report. He said police could check the bags, but said he didn’t have the key for the locks on the bags.
Transportation Security Administration officers opened the bags and found two bales of marijuana, according to the report. Authorities also found 34 grams of THC gummies in the man’s backpack.
Police arrested the man and took him to jail on a felony drug charge. He has bond set at $75,000.

While more states have been legalizing marijuana, it remains illegal in Tennessee. Possession of even a small amount can result in a year behind bars and a $2,500 fine. A conviction on more serious trafficking charges can lead to 60 years in prison.
