LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – The Nebraska State Patrol says three separate traffic stops on Interstate 80 led to arrests and the seizure of nearly 70 pounds of marijuana. A trooper stopped a car Sunday morning near Odessa for speeding, and a search turned up 50 pounds of boxed marijuana in the car’s trunk. A 20-year-old man from Ellicott City, Md., was arrested. On Saturday night, a trooper making another stop near Odessa spotted marijuana in the sport utility vehicle’s passenger seat. A search turned up another two pounds, and the 24-year-old Littleton, Colo., driver was arrested. Another stop Saturday morning near Gretna led to the seizure of 16 pounds of marijuana in boxes wrapped as wedding gifts. The 54-year-old Antelope, Calif., driver was arrested.
