The keen nose of Metro Nashville police dog Stryker led to today's discovery of one pound of heroin and one pound of meth concealed in the stuffing of a cookie pillow.

The case began with a speeding Toyota Solara sedan. It was traveling on I-24 west near the Bell Road exit at 86 mph in a 70 mph zone. Interdiction Officer William Taylor stopped the car and asked its driver, Francisco Javier Guzman, 29, for his license. Guzman appeared nervous and acknowledged that he did not have a license. Officer Taylor had Stryker, his canine partner, do an open air sniff around the car. Stryker alerted to the presence of drug odor. On the front seat was a parcel wrapped in Christmas paper. Inside the box was a cookie pillow with a small slit cut in the side. The heroin and meth were concealed with the stuffing.
