PORT HURON, Mich. (FOX 2) - A truck driver from Canada is in custody after authorities say he was caught with 266 pounds of cocaine at the Blue Water Bridge.

The drugs were found after Juli Sabosan Sathiaseelan, 42, was stopped at the bridge on Thursday. 

Sathiaseelan was charged with delivering/manufacturing a controlled substance. His bond was set at $3 million cash/surety. 

Authorities said more charges could be added as the investigation continues.
