Wrong Way: Fullerton Police Dog Sniffs Out $1 Million Worth Of Cocaine During Routine Traffic Stop

As he entered a routine traffic stop, Cisneros, 28, was stopped by Fullerton Police Officer Jonathon Miller. The officer uncovered Cisneros's current probation status for narcotics violations and invited Mueller, his police dog, to further investigate the vehicle.

Mueller caught a scent of something slightly illegal and valuable in the trunk: $1 million worth of cocaine. Good dog.

This discovery won Miller his first major bust and Cisneros a cozy spot in jail with a hefty bail amount set at $3 million. His arraignment is scheduled for this Thursday at North Justice Center in Fullerton, according to KTLA.
