An Alaska man found with $400,000 in illegal drugs hidden in spoiled goat intestines at an airport has been arrested.

Cenen Placencia of Kodiak was arrested Wednesday at Anchorage's international airport, authorities said.

Investigators smelled the odor of rotting meat as it thawed, and a police dog detected the presence of drugs, the affidavit says. Before the meat finished thawing, Placencia withdrew his consent for a search, prompting authorities to obtain a search warrant, the court document says. Before that flight departed, however, Placencia agreed to be interviewed. He told investigators he packed the bag himself and denied knowing about the drugs, according to the affidavit. Placencia told investigators he bought the goat intestines for $140 from a California rancher for his own consumption, the affidavit says.
