A man has been arrested after police found over 6 pounds of marijuana in his vehicle.

Sheriffs deputies stopped a 1999 Acura at around 1:30 Wednesday afternoon for a traffic violation.

The deputy gained consent to search the vehicle and found the packaged marijuana in a concealed duffle bag in the trunk of the car.

19-Year-old Matthew Marriott from Williams Oregon said the marijuana was his and said he was transporting it from Grants Pass to Eugene.

Marriott did not have a medical marijuana card and was arrested and charged with unlawful possession, unlawful delivery, and unlawful manufacture of marijuana.

The street value of the marijuana was estimated at 26 to 32-thousand dollars.
