Drug agents made a major bust at the Nashville International Airport.

Two suspects reportedly checked bags at the airport that were full of marijuana. They were there on a flight out of Oakland, California.

K-9 drug dogs working the baggage area immediately hit on the bags, so plain-clothed DEA agents fell back and waited until the suspects came to pick up the luggage.

That's when both suspects were confronted and arrested in the terminal. They've been identified as 24-year-old Tyron Marrell Goins and 29-year-old Lakendra Charlese Kidd.

Agents found a combined 35 pounds of pot in the bags.

One of the suspects told police he was just a courier and that he was to be paid $3,000 upon delivery.

Both suspects were being held on a $25,000 bond each.
