Neb. trooper seizes 6 pounds of meth from pickup

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) – The Nebraska State Patrol says a trooper seized six pounds of methamphetamine during a traffic stop. A news release from the patrol says the trooper stopped a pickup Tuesday after it turned onto a dead-end road near a Grand Island well field. The trooper says the two occupants in the truck gave him permission to search it, and the meth was found in a false compartment in the tailgate of the pickup. The patrol says the meth has an estimated street value of $300,000.  The 24-year-old driver of Keewatin, Minn., and 35-year-old passenger from Aurora, Minn., were arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
