The cops on I-40 continue to get incredibly
lucky.According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Barry Dillard, 38, of Greensboro, N.C., was speeding in a Chevrolet van on Interstate 40 in Carson County near Conway. Dillard was traveling home from California. DPS said Dillard gave permission for a vehicle search, which led troopers to discover 415 pounds of marijuana valued around $134,875. The marijuana was found inside two refrigerators stored in the back of the van.
The second stop happened around 9:30 p.m. According to DPS, Helen Johnson was stopped near Conway for speeding in a Chrysler passenger car. Troopers said Johnson and her passenger, Reginald Johnson, showed "signs of criminal activity." Johnson gave troopers permission to search the vehicle. Troopers found 24 pounds of marijuana and 2,000 grams of cocaine in the trunk, worth $7,800 and $146,000, respectively.
