ST. CLOUD -- The St. Cloud Metro Gang Strike Force and Drug Unit got a tip about a large amount of marijuana being smuggled in on an Amtrak train early this morning. Officers learned that a man was bringing the pot from Oregon and would be arriving in St. Cloud.

Police arrived at the station just after midnight and arrested a 38-year-old man.

Authorities say Babashola Odukale of St. Cloud had several pounds of marijuana with him.

Police arrested Odukale and jailed him in Benton County on suspicion of possession with intent to sell a controlled substance.
