A deputy making a traffic stop Thursday afternoon smelled weed. His K-9 partner smelled weed. Likely anyone else close by also did.

RPSO said John Michael Grezik, 37, of Orlando, was pulled over for a minor traffic violation.

Subsequently, 150 pounds of high-grade marijuana were discovered in his truck. Its value was determined by responding drug team officers to be approximately $679,000.

Grezik was placed under arrest without incident and booked for following too close, open container and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. He was released Saturday on a $150,200 bond.

Information regarding where the stop occurred or Grezik’s destination was not available.
