From the article:

> [@](#):
>
> The driver, who identified himself as 28-year-old Brian Rivera Martinez, said he didn’t know how to drive the truck.
> 
> When a drug-sniffing dog arrived, it alerted authorities to possible narcotics. DPS officers found 4,112 pounds of marijuana bundled in the area where trash would be carried.
> 
> Martinez and passenger, Michael Trejo Duran Sr., 38, were arrested on suspicion of transporting and possessing marijuana for sale.

Then how do you explain George Bush? After all, he’s not robbing banks or liquor stores. How did he get the money to run for President?
