Man arrested after pot found in car, authorities say

lancaster-county-sheriffLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lancaster County authorities say a 24-year-old man was taken into custody after nearly 100 pounds of marijuana was found in his car.

The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy pulled over the car on Interstate 80 around 2 p.m. Thursday for several traffic violations. The deputy reported a strong odor of marijuana coming from the car, and a subsequent search turned up the pot in eight trash bags.

The man was arrested on suspicion of possession for sale. Online court records don’t show that he’s been formally charged.
