Garcia was driving a semi through Shelby County along Interstate 75 in mid-January when he was stopped for an improper lane change while he was traveling northbound near the Fair Road exit.
The Ohio State Patrol discovered 25 kilograms of cocaine with a street value of $2.5 million.
In court, Garcia pleaded guilty to one count of trafficking in drugs in exchange for the dismissal of a second charge of possession of drugs. He could be sentenced to five years in prison and fined as high as $10,000.
Garcia’s sentencing will come in four to six weeks. He continues to be held in the Shelby County Jail on a $250,000 bond.
