Troopers were given verbal consent by the driver to search the vehicle. During the search, troopers discovered 28 bales of marijuana, which weighed 691 pounds and were covered by blankets.

The marijuana was seized along with the vehicles.

Gusman remains in the Dickson County Jail on a $105,000 bond.
