A Mexican national has been indicted after he was arrested earlier this month in Topeka after authorities allegedly found a whole lot of meth hidden in his car.

Luis Manuel Mojarro-Lopez is charged with a single count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

According to Acting U.S. Attorney U.S. Tom Beall, the 33 year-old was stopped on June 18 after authorities say he ran a stop sign at the eastbound I-70 exit ramp at the Wanamaker interchange. When they searched his 2007 Ford Mustang, authorities say they found 34 lbs. of meth hidden in a false compartment behind the back seat.

Beall says Mojarro-Lopez was getting $2,000 to take the drugs from Los Angeles to Kansas City, Kansas. When he arrived in KC, the suspect was told to call his contact for more information.

If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 20 years in federal prison and fined up to $1 million
