$500K in cocaine found stashed in used Calif. minivan

(CBS/AP) SAN JOSE, Calif. - A California man who bought a used 2008 white minivan was stunned to discover just how white it really is: The previous owner apparently left behind $500,000 worth of cocaine jammed in the door panels.

San Jose psychologist Charles Preston says the cellophane-wrapped cocaine haul was discovered when he took the van to a mechanic. Police were immediately notified.

Preston says he noticed the driver's side window wouldn't go down all the way, but he figured he would live with it because the Town and Country van had a good air conditioning system.

The San Jose Mercury News says Preston paid $14,000 to Thrifty Car Sales in Santa Clara for the 2008 van in May 2010.

The owner of the car dealership says he's willing to replace the van with a drug-free ride.
