   Not even Febreze could mask one man's alleged attempt to smuggle   
   nearly 60 pounds of marijuana into Nashville International   
   Airport, a stunt for which he was soon arrested.   
      
   On July 5, Jose Medina Ayala was charged with trafficking the   
   hefty load into the Music City air hub from Los Angeles, News   
   Channel 5 reports.   
      
   Metro Nashville Police told the outlet that they received a tip   
   someone was traveling from L.A. to Nashville with drugs. Upon   
   deplaning, a K9 named Boston soon discovered Ayala's stash, WSPA   
   notes.   
      
   It remains unclear at this time what airline the man was   
   traveling on.   
      
   According to the outlet, authorities found 51 vacuum-sealed bags   
   with a little more than a pound of marijuana in each one. They   
   were distributed in two suitcases, totaling “just under” 60   
   pounds. Notably, the drugs had been doused in Febreze to “try to   
   mask their scent,” News Channel 5 reports.   
      
   At the time of his arrest, Ayala was also carrying $2,870 in   
   cash, detectives say. The man further told investigators he had   
   “no idea” there was marijuana in the suitcases.   
      
   Booked on felony drug charges, Ayala was being held on $100,000   
   bond, according to News Channel 5.   
      
   This isn’t the first time that a major drug trafficking bust has   
   been made at Nashville International Airport. In August 2017,   
   two people were busted for bringing nearly 36 pounds of pot into   
   the air hub from a Southwest flight that departed from Oakland,   
   Calif., Fox 17 reported.   
      
   Months later, in November, a man tried to tried to smuggle over   
   40 pounds of marijuana into the Nashville Airport on a Delta Air   
   Lines flight from Seattle.
