Authorities say a man grabbed two bags containing 45 pounds of marijuana from a luggage carousel at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
They seized the drugs Thursday night after stopping a Chevy Tahoe on the Southfield Freeway in Detroit and arresting the driver, Clifford Skinner.
Customs agent Kurt Fiegel says Skinner indicated that he worked for a drug organization that would secretly place drug-filled luggage on flights to Detroit.
Fiegel says Skinner told police that he had picked up at least 10 bags a month for the past 18 months. He was charged Friday in federal court with marijuana possession. The court docket doesn't list a defense lawyer.
