LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Authorities say two men were arrested after officers found around 280 pounds of marijuana and more than $60,000 in a vehicle after a traffic stop on the western edge of Lincoln.
The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy pulled over the van for several traffic violations around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday on Interstate 80. The office says the deputy smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. A subsequent search uncovered the pot and the cash hidden throughout the vehicle.
The Sheriff’s Office says the marijuana has an estimated street value of $900,000.
The two men were arrested on suspicion of possession for sale and a related crime. Online court records don’t show Thursday that the two have been formally charged.
