A California traffic stop took a massive turn when a police K-9 sniffed out approximately 200 kilos, or roughly 440 pounds, of cocaine allegedly packed inside an SUV filled with cardboard boxes, authorities said.
The Alhambra Police Department said the incident began after officers conducted a traffic stop along Valley Boulevard near the 710 Freeway.
Although authorities did not say what prompted the initial stop, they noticed the driver appeared to have an unusual amount of cargo in his vehicle.
"The driver was transporting more cardboard boxes than Amazon on Prime Day," police said in a social media post.
That's when the driver began offering an explanation for the boxes, according to police.
"At first, he said he was heading home to Huntington Park from his cousin’s house and that the boxes were not his," police said in the post.
But that wasn't the man's only story.
"Later came version 2.0 of his lore," police continued, "and he said he was taking diesel parts to a shop that his friend owned."
Up stepped K-9 Otis and his handler to help investigate.
Police said Otis alerted officers to the vehicle, prompting them to search the SUV.
"Thanks to Otis’ top-tier nose, he alerted to the vehicle, and officers discovered the SUV was packed with approximately 200 kilos of cocaine," police said.
The driver, identified as Julio Rangel of Huntington Park, was arrested and booked into the Alhambra Police Department jail, according to police.
Following the drug bust, Otis was hailed as the hero of the operation.

Officer Goodboy. (aka the fur missle)
Now the cops can have a PAR-TAY.
Otis is the king. From now on, it’s Rex.
“”But, but ocifer, it is all for my own personal use.””
It was later determined that the driver with the 440 pounds of personal use cocaine had not slept since New Year’s Eve 1999.
Probably on its way to DNC headquarters to use as vote bribes.

There used to be a meme when marijuana was the top illegal drug, of a dog giving a wide smile and saying: “No, I don’t know what happened to your stash. And you’re all out of Doritos.”
Good one.
Newscum is sending the CHP to Alhambra at this very moment to bring the cocaine to Sacramento where it will be safe and secure.
