RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Five men will appear in federal court after investigators followed a tractor-trailer carrying marijuana from southwest Virginia to a truck stop just north of Richmond.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports (https://bit.ly/21untrB ) that authorities seized more than 200 pounds of pot after the four-hour trip over the weekend. The surveillance and arrests were part of an FBI investigation into an interstate drug organization.
Those arrested were 37-year-old Norris Jackson, 34-year-old Brandon Grier, 56-year-old Vernon Addison, 42-year-old George Anderson and 33-year-old Christopher O’Neal. Their addresses were not listed. They are set to appear before a federal magistrate Thursday on charges of possession with intent to distribute 50 kilograms or more of marijuana.
