Trang Pham, 31, was approached upon arrival by the Logan Airport Task Force, comprised of Massachusetts state troopers and DEA agents.
State Trooper Eric Pecjo and his detection dog, Zeva, responded to assist with the investigation. The Task Force then received a warrant from East Boston court authorizing them to search two suitcases checked onto the flight by Pham. Police said they found the marijuana packaged in heat sealed plastic wrap in his luggage.
Pham was arrested with trafficking in marijuana and is expected to be arraigned in East Boston District Court.
