Authorities say a tractor-trailer filled with 2,462 pounds of marijuana from Mexico has been found in Doraville. Police said four men were arrested on charges related to the transportation of the marijuana - Edilberto Gijon-Jimenez, of Atlanta; Ramon Hernandez-Castro, of Norcross; Gilberty Riviera-Alcaraz, of Lawrenceville, and Jesus Hernandez-Gutierrez, of Sugar Hill. Another man, Pedro Mendoza-Lugo, of Las Vegas, is charged with conspiracy to commit a crime. Jail records show the five were arrested by Gwinnett police and federal authorities between July 2 and Saturday. Gwinnett police spokeswoman Cpl. Illana Spellman said no additional information was available on Monday.
