The driver, Ashot Grigoryan, 59, was charged with drug trafficking, according to the  Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics.

According to multiple media reports, a narcotics agent on military duty at the base inspected the tractor-trailer, and found duffel bags filled with marijuana and 35 boxes of marijuana oil hidden among $25,000 worth of frozen chicken.

Authorities believe the marijuana was being moved from Pasadena, California to New Jersey.

The suspect is on probation in Missouri for a previous trafficking case. He could also face federal charges in addition to the ones leveled by the state.
