When agents arrived they found one large bundle broken open with smaller bundles inside. 

The marijuana was taken to the Douglas port of entry to be weighed.

Border Patrol said they searched the area for more marijuana but never found any. 

There is word who was responsible for bringing those drugs over the border.
