(Oklahoma City-AP) -- Oklahoma City police have found 110 poundsof marijuana being transported in the gas tank of a van. Police have arrested Ana R - Rodriguez and a 14-year old boy identified as her son on complaints of transporting a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute.

Authorities say police pulled the van over yesterday for weavingas it traveled north on Interstate 35. The two told conflicting stories, which raised suspicions. A search dog detected the drug in the van, which had Illinois plates. Police say the marijuana had an estimated value of $165,000. The bust was the second largest marijuana arrest in Oklahoma City in three days.

On Monday, authorities stopped another van with Illinois plates and found 175 pound of marijuana in the gas tank. The driver, 31-year-old Jose Vargas, was arrested after that stop.
