Arkansas State Police arrested a 53-year-old Oklahoma man on Christmas Eve after a traffic stop led to the discovery of 248 pounds of marijuana, authorities said Monday.
The story was first reported by the Arkansas Democrat Gazette in an article published Dec. 30.
Xiong Ren, of Chickasha, Oklahoma, was stopped around 6:50 p.m. Tuesday along Interstate 40 near the 165-mile marker for a traffic violation, according to the agency. Ren was driving a white 2021 Ford F-150 at the time.
During the stop, a trooper conducted a search of the truck’s bed and uncovered six large suitcases containing 207 vacuum-sealed packages of marijuana. Each package weighed about 1.2 pounds, totaling 248 pounds, police said.

Ren reportedly told investigators he was traveling to Wisconsin to spend Christmas. He was charged with possession with intent to deliver and unauthorized use of another person’s property to facilitate a crime. Both charges are felonies.
Authorities have not released further details about the investigation.
