An Escambia County man was caught in Alabama with 48 pounds of high grade marijuana worth $170,000, according to authorities.

Tony Phan, 47, is charged with marijuana trafficking and remained in the Baldwin County Jail without bond.

Phan was pulled over on I-10 due to a traffic violation. A K-9 alerted on the vehicle for the presence of illegal narcotics, and deputies found the 48 pounds of marijuana in the back seat of the vehicle.

The Baldwin Sheriff’s Office said the marijuana originated in the state of Washington and was being transported to the Pensacola area.

Phan is a resident of the 3000 block of Kingsfield Road, according to jail records.

    He must have been high while he was driving if he didn’t think to try to hide it better than the back seat. Doesn’t he watch Live PD? That’s the second place they look. I’m just glad his product is off the street.

    Don’t judge, maybe he has a major illness and this was for his own medical use.
