More than 80 lbs of marijuana was reportedly found at Nashville International Airport for the second time in a week.

K-9 Havoc sniffed out two bales of marijuana in luggage traveling from San Francisco to BNA on Monday, FOX 17 News reports.

BNA CEO and president Doug Kreulen shared a photo of the K-9 with the two bales on Monday via Twitter.

"In addition to FREE masks to fight COVID-19 we also have FREE rides to Metro booking when K-9 Havoc smells you landing at BNA," Kreulen tweeted. "Come on man, pack your music, your guitar and your songs when flying into @Fly_Nashville. Next time leave your two bales behind in San Francisco."

Metro Police reportedly contacted Jullian Gioffre, 26, whose name was on the luggage and identity was confirmed through his California driver's license, FOX 17 News reports. Police said Gioffre complied with their request to check the bags but the luggage was locked and he claimed to not have a key.

TSA was given clearance to open the bags and found two bales of marijuana weighing approximately 87 lbs, as well as 34 grams of THC gummies in Gioffre's backpack, FOX 17 News reports.

Gioffre was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent and is being held on a $75,000 bond, according to Davidson County booking.

Last Wednesday, 10 individual bags of what was confirmed to be 85 lbs of marijuana was found at BNA.
