Kershaw County deputies seized at least $150,000 worth of marijuana from a Florida man in what they're calling the biggest bust in the history of the county's traffic unit.

According to Sheriff Jim Matthews, the 45-year-old Donald Wayne Gillham of Florida was pulled over around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

During the traffic stop, the deputy's drug detection dog was alerted to the trunk of the car. Backup was called, and a search of the vehicle was conducted. Deputies soon discovered two large duffel bags that contained approximately 102 pounds of compressed marijuana.

Deputies believe the marijuana came from Arizona and was to be delivered to Darlington County for distribution.

Gillham is being held in the Kershaw County Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing on charges of trafficking in marijuana.
