Metro Nashville Police officers have arrested a man after finding meth and heroin inside the stuffing of a pillow shaped like a cookie.

Police dog Stryker sniffed out the drugs during a traffic stop.

Javier Guzman was pulled over for speeding on Interstate 24 West near the Bell Road exit. 

Officers said Guzman appeared nervous and told them he did not have a license.

During an open air sniff around the vehicle, Stryker alerted officers to the presence of drug odor.

On the front seat was a parcel wrapped in Christmas paper, and inside the box was a cookie pillow with a small slit cut in the side. 

There was one pound of heroin and one pound of meth concealed with the stuffing.

Guzman was charged with possessing heroin and meth for resale and driving without a license. He was held in lieu of $151,500 bond.
