LINCOLN — The Nebraska State Patrol says two separate traffic stops on Interstate 80 near Lincoln have led to the seizure of nearly 27 pounds of marijuana.
The patrol said the first occurred Tuesday morning, when a trooper stopped an eastbound car. A patrol dog indicated an odor of drugs, and a search turned up 3 pounds of marijuana in a suitcase in the car’s trunk.
Several hours later, a trooper stopped an eastbound sport utility vehicle. A search of that vehicle uncovered nearly 24 pounds of marijuana in 20 individual packages hidden in two totes.
The drivers each were arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. — AP
