Officers said the suspect arrived at the location and tried to walk away, but police took him into custody.
After searching his truck, officers discovered drugs wrapped as Christmas gifts, according to the post.
“No amount of festive wrapping can disguise the harm these drugs inflict on families and communities,” said Chief Richard Sanders. “The coordinated efforts of partner agencies ensured these holiday-wrapped packages never reached the streets.”
Police said the suspect told officers he was traveling from Iowa and planned to sell the drugs.
He was arrested and charged with trafficking in a controlled substance.
