Cops Nab 55 Pounds of Weed in Douglas County

douglas-county-sheriff(AP) — Authorities say more than 55 pounds of marijuana has been found in a vehicle in eastern Nebraska.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says 35-year-old David Costanzo was stopped Wednesday morning on Interstate 80. Officers say Costanzo’s vehicle was stopped on suspicion of following too closely.

A dog on the department’s K-9 unit led to the vehicle being searched. More than 55 pounds of marijuana were found in the rented car’s trunk.

Costanzo was arrested and faces possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance and no tax stamp. Court records do not list an attorney.
