NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) - June 11, 2013 --
The shipment was hot -- and it wasn't just the peppers. Federal authorities say they've seized more than a ton of pot stashed in a load of peppers.
A drug sniffing dog alerted customs agents at an Arizona border crossing.
Officials say a search of the tractor-trailer revealed 2,300 pounds of marijuana mixed in with the peppers.
The Mexican man driving the big rig has been taken into custody.
