Another one.Authorities say they found 94 pounds of marijuana on a recreational vehicle that was stopped on Interstate 40 near Groom for a traffic violation.
Troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety stopped the vehicle Thursday evening. Troopers said Eric Wood Myers of Encinitas, Calif., was traveling from his hometown to Tappan, N.Y. Myers refused to allow troopers to search the vehicle after they said they observed "signs of criminal activity from the driver."
I really want to know what's going on with this. "Signs of criminal activity from the driver," of course, could be anything, but of course if there was probable cause, say, paraphernalia in plain sight, they'd say so. I wonder if "signs of criminal activity" means he illegally claimed the head of household status on his 2008 1040, of if he just cut the tag off his mattress?
