(KCRA/NBC) A California man was arrested after police pulled him over with marijuana plants overflowing from the back of his van.

During a traffic stop early Tuesday, sheriff's deputies in Sutter County, Calif., said the driver and two passengers made a run for it.

Pictures show hundreds of pot plants were jam packed into the van.

A couple hours later the driver was found hiding in a nearby field.

One of the passengers was caught a short time later.

Sergio Sanchez Paz and Tony Le, both 23, were arrested, said police.

A third person is still on the run.
