ODESSA -- An Odessa couple accused of having a massive stash of marijuana in their home is now facing federal charges.
Erica Garcia and Erick Reyes-Martinez are both facing charges. Prosecutors say the two were arrested Sunday after officers received a tip on them.
Ector County Sheriff's deputies pulled over Reyes-Martinez on South Grant and say they found ten pounds of marijuana inside his vehicle. After that, they headed to his house on Amistad Avenue, where deputies say they found 33 more pounds of pot stuffed inside a closet, along with $3,000 in cash.
Garcia is out on bond.
