A Canadian man is facing drug charges after allegedly getting caught trying to get 30 hockey bags full of weed over the Peace Bridge.

The 27 year old man was busted over the weekend driving a commercial truck, which he claimed contained a shipment of wax.

According to Buffalo media, a customs officer asked him to open the sleeper cab curtain and that’s when officials discovered the bags stacked from floor to ceiling.

The suspect reportedly told officers the bags belonged to a friend and he was bringing them to Buffalo for him.
