Lancaster Co. Deputies Seize $23,000 in Traffic STop

lancaster-county-sheriff(AP) — Authorities in eastern Nebraska say $23,000 has been seized following a traffic stop.

The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy stopped a vehicle Thursday morning on Interstate 80 near Lincoln. The deputy was suspicious of the vehicle for allegedly driving too close to another vehicle.

Deputies found the money bundled in a suitcase in the car truck. A K-9 also found remnants of cocaine in a shaving cream container.

The driver, 28-year-old Jason Hacker, and a passenger, 33-year-old Dustin Mack, were arrested. Hack faces aiding and abetting charges and Mack faces possession of cocaine charges.

Court records do not list attorneys for the men.
