An Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) trooper recently arrested a truck driver on multiple charges after finding a large amount of marijuana on his commercial vehicle.

The driver of the truck was identified as Dajun Sun, 57, of Oregon City, Oregon.

During the inspection, the Sun presented the trooper with an invalid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), according to ALEA. Further investigation revealed that Sun was present in the U.S. illegally, officials said.
