80 Pounds of Pot Seized By Wyoming Highway Patrol Near Rock Springs

The Wyoming Highway Patrol seized nearly 80 pounds of marijuana Wednesday in two traffic stops. The first stop was an eastbound vehicle about 11 miles from Rock Springs on Interstate 80 for making an unsafe lane change. After noticing a strong odor of pot from inside the vehicle, the trooper did a search and found almost 6 pounds in a duffel bag. Then, about 22 miles east of Rock Springs, a vehicle was pulled over for following too close to a semi. A drug-detecting dog led his fellow officer to four duffel bags that contained 73 pounds of marijuana. The names have not been released of those arrested.
