Nashville police arrested two men at the Nashville International Airport Tuesday after they were found in possession of more than 150 pounds of marijuana.

The Metro Nashville Police Department reported that a trained canine named Boston helped identify four suitcases packed with 159 pounds of marijuana that came into Nashville on a flight from Oakland, California.

Two men, believed to be the owners of the suitcases, were arrested.

Trung Tiey, 40, of Philadelphia, and Tihn Tran, 56, of Murphy, Texas, remained incarcerated Wednesday on charges related to the find.

The pair were apparently attempting to make their way to Jacksonville, Florida.

The exact charges against the men were not immediately available, nor was it known if they have legal representation.

The flight from California arrived Tuesday night, police said, and the pair had plans to make a connecting flight to Florida.
