TAMPA, FL (Bay News 9/CNN) - Florida deputies recovered over half a million dollars worth of tequila over the weekend.
There were approximately 966 cases of Patron tequila, worth more than $507,000, stolen.
Investigators say a truck driver hauling the tequila stopped for dinner at a truck stop in Tampa. At some point, he noticed his trailer was no longer attached to his truck.
Deputies found the trailer more than 10 miles away, where four men were transferring the cases of tequila to another box truck.
The four men were taken into custody.
