An Arizona couple are facing felony charges after Troopers busted them transporting 128 pounds of weed with their children in the vehicle.

At around 8:45 p.m. on Sunday, a Trooper with the Nebraska State Patrol initiated a traffic stop on a speeding 2002 Chevy Silverado on Interstate 80 about seven miles west of North Platte.

The Patrol says the Trooper became suspicious and was granted permission to search the pickup.

With assistance from a K-9, Troopers discovered several pot bundles in luggage in the bed of the pickup.  According to Troopers, the bundles weighed about 25 pounds each, and totaled around 128 pounds.

Following the discovery, 34-year old Jose Armenta and 31-year-old Ana Olivarria, both of Tucson, were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver.

Additionally, the Patrol says four children, ages 11, 6, 5 and 9 months, were also traveling in the vehicle, which led to a charge of cruelty toward a child for the duo.

The children were placed in protective custody, pending placement with relatives, and Armenta and Olivarria were both transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center where they are being held without bond.
