Joseph Bennett of Scarborough, Ontario, was arrested Friday evening at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron. Authorities say Bennett's truck was selected for a random search and a canine team uncovered a stash of pills behind the dashboard. A total of 58 bags containing more than 275,000 pills of Ecstasy were found. A Customs and Border Protection spokesman says the haul's street value is $6.5 million or more. A message seeking comment was left for Andrew Wise, who represented Bennett at a detention hearing Monday in U.S. District Court in Detroit. A preliminary examination is scheduled for Aug. 22.
