A semitrailer stopped for speeding on I-10 near Marana on Wednesday was carrying more than 3,200 pounds of marijuana, the Sheriff's Department said.

The driver, Glenn Ivan Ibarra, 34, said he was transporting bottled water to Los Angeles. A check by sheriff's Sgt. Greg Barger and his K-9 partner, Rudy, indicated there were drugs on board.

The Counter Narcotics Alliance was called to the scene and discovered the marijuana.

Ibarra was arrested and booked into the Pima County Adult Detention Center on charges of transportation of marijuana for sale.

The estimated street value of the marijuana is $1,440,900.
