Three dogs, a cat, and a whole lot of pot. That's what an east Texas sheriff's deputy found inside a car Thursday. Harrison Deputy Chris Welk found about 120 pounds of marijuana inside the trunk of 56-year old Charles Dunklin's car during a routine traffic stop.

Dunklin told authorities he was headed back to Illinois from Houston. In fact, he talked quite a bit. It was his nervousness and willingness to provide information that led to the search of his car.

"He was visibly shaking. Even the papers in his hands, you could see him shaking and he was popping the papers. He was not making eye contact. You could see his pulse beating in his neck," Welk said.

Deputy Welk said the marijuana was tightly wrapped in dryer sheets and covered in trash bags
