Not even Febreze could mask one man's alleged attempt to smuggle
nearly 60 pounds of marijuana into Nashville International
Airport, a stunt for which he was soon arrested.

On July 5, Jose Medina Ayala was charged with trafficking the
hefty load into the Music City air hub from Los Angeles, News
Channel 5 reports.

Metro Nashville Police told the outlet that they received a tip
someone was traveling from L.A. to Nashville with drugs. Upon
deplaning, a K9 named Boston soon discovered Ayala's stash, WSPA
notes.

It remains unclear at this time what airline the man was
traveling on.

According to the outlet, authorities found 51 vacuum-sealed bags
with a little more than a pound of marijuana in each one. They
were distributed in two suitcases, totaling “just under” 60
pounds. Notably, the drugs had been doused in Febreze to “try to
mask their scent,” News Channel 5 reports.

At the time of his arrest, Ayala was also carrying $2,870 in
cash, detectives say. The man further told investigators he had
“no idea” there was marijuana in the suitcases.

Booked on felony drug charges, Ayala was being held on $100,000
bond, according to News Channel 5.

This isn’t the first time that a major drug trafficking bust has
been made at Nashville International Airport. In August 2017,
two people were busted for bringing nearly 36 pounds of pot into
the air hub from a Southwest flight that departed from Oakland,
Calif., Fox 17 reported.

Months later, in November, a man tried to tried to smuggle over
40 pounds of marijuana into the Nashville Airport on a Delta Air
Lines flight from Seattle.
