A traffic stop by Troopers for a speeding violation of 83 mph in a 75 mph zone on Interstate 80 has led to the arrest and felony charges filed on a 47 year-old man from Laguna Woods, California. Michael A. Howard was traveling eastbound approximately 30 miles east of Evanston on August 23rd when a pair of State Troopers stopped his speeding rented Chevrolet Camaro. Howard's demeanor and inconsistencies in his travel plans made the Troopers suspicious. A Highway Patrol K-9 then searched the vehicle which led to the discovery of 30 vacuum sealed baggies in two duffle bags in the trunk of the vehicle, totaling 33 pounds. Just over $1300 cash was also seized. Howard has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. The marijuana has an approximate street value estimated at $198,000.00.
