Why would you consent to a vehicle search if you knew you had 810 pounds of
marijuana in your car?
A Florida man's journey from Arizona to New York was interrupted by a pit stop in the Gray County Jail Thursday after authorities found several hundred pounds of marijuana in a trailer he towed.
Texas Department of Public Safety troopers stopped a 2006 Ford Expedition towing a U-Haul trailer headed eastbound along Interstate 40 about 7:20 a.m.
The driver agreed to a search and authorities found 810 pounds of marijuana worth about $477,000 hidden in boxes inside the trailer, according to DPS.
Authorities booked the 47-year-old Sunrise, Fla. man into the Gray County Jail in Pampa on drug-related charges.
So 810 pounds is a drug
related charge? How do they always seem to know what cars to pull over?
