MILFORD, Neb. (AP) – A driver from Kentucky has been arrested in the seizure of more than 53 pounds of marijuana from a utility truck on Interstate 80 in Nebraska.
The Nebraska State Patrol says the 65-year-old man from Louisville, Ky., was stopped Thursday afternoon near the Milford interchange for following too closely and driving on the shoulder.
A trooper was given consent to search the truck and, the patrol says, the marijuana was found in two suitcases and two boxes in an enclosed area in the bed of the truck.
The driver was placed in the Seward County jail on suspicion of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.
