The Franklin County Sheriff's Office made a major marijuana bust after a Wednesday afternoon traffic stop along Interstate 85 and arrested a Blacksburg, Va., man for drug trafficking.

A sheriff's deputy stopped a Red Mustang for traveling 105 mph on I-85. The driver - identified as Edwing Rene Castro Reynoso - did not have a driver's license with him and the deputy observed what he believed to be marijuana on the front seat.

The deputy arrested Reynoso and while searching the Mustang, authorities found 350 pounds of marijuana.

Reynoso was charged with speeding, no driver's license and drug trafficking.
