Heading: The trip to Phoenix

Text: M r. Chehadeh testified that before heading to Phoenix the truck stopped in Ohio, Georgia and Arkansas, picking up and delivering loads of ketchup and soup. The truck then headed to Arizona. In a small town in Texas, M r. Chehadeh realized he accidentally left M r. Norwood behind. M r. Norwood, who had left the -3- truck to get some food, sought help from a police officer, who stopped M r. Chehadeh about a mile down the road, and M r. N orw ood returned to the truck. On July 9, 2004, the two arrived in Glendale, Arizona, where M r. Chehadeh picked up a load of onions. M r. Norwood then directed M r. Chehadeh to a K- M art parking lot in Phoenix, where three men met them with a van. M r. Chehadeh, M r. Norwood, and the three men quickly loaded five or six large boxes from the van into the trailer, on top of the onions. Later, because M r. Chehadeh was worried that the boxes would look suspicious positioned atop the onions, the two stopped at a truck stop on I-15 to move the marijuana behind the onions. M r. Chehadeh testified that both he and M r. Norwood took the bundles of marijuana out of the boxes and loaded them behind the onions so that they were not visible when the back of the truck was open.
