Truck Driver Busted with Over 100 Lbs. of Weed at Offut Air Force Base

offutt-air-force-base(AP) — Authorities say the driver of a semitrailer entering Offutt Air Force Base was carrying more than 100 pounds of marijuana.

Michael Quinlan was arrested Wednesday after the semitrailer, which was delivering bottled water, went through a vehicle inspection that’s required to enter the base.

Suspicious packages were found during the inspection. A military dog was then brought in.

More than 115 vacuum-sealed packages of marijuana were confiscated, along with the truck.

The 46-year-old Quinlan is being held at Douglas County Corrections. He faces a charge of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. It’s unclear in court documents whether he has an attorney.
