First off: props to to the Major from the Putnum County Sheriff's Dept and Bo the K-9.
Second, $340K for 85 pounds (1360 ounces) of weed is an even $250/oz.
Is this what weed sells for now? How did they know it was "high grade"? You never hear the PAO saying, "Yeah is 85 pounds of some real ragweed. I think somebody smoked a doobie in the vehicle recently or there's NO WAY the K-9 would've alerted. I'd call it ditch-weed but that would be insulting to ditch-weed."
Just wondering! Again, props to the local LEOs.
PUTNAM COUNTY, Ind. – A slow driver on I-70 led to the discovery of $340,000 worth of marijuana on Wednesday.
The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office says the 85 pounds of pot was found in a rental van that Major Dwight Simmons pulled over near mile marker 47 at about 1 p.m.
Simmons reports the van was going under the posted speed limit, blocking numerous vehicles and impeding traffic flow.
When Simmons spoke with the driver from Columbus, Ohio and a passenger from Eureka, California, the officer became suspicious of their travel itinerary.
Aft
er both occupants gave consent to search the van, a K-9 named Bo indicated the presence of narcotics. A subsequent search of the van yielded two large duffle bags of “high grade marijuana.”
