OMAHA, Neb. (AP) ā€” Authorities in Nebraska say a man traveling from California to Des Moines (IA) was arrested following a traffic stop on eastbound Interstate 80 in eastern Omaha at around 10:30-p.m. Thursday, after drugs were found in his sport utility vehicle. The Douglas County (Nebraska) Sheriff’s Office says the deputy who pulled over the SUV became suspicious and deployed his patrol dog. The office says the dog alerted the deputy to the presence of drugs in the SUV.

A search turned up 23 bags containing nearly 27 pounds of marijuana and 2,000 vials of what deputies suspect is hash oil. The Sheriff’s Office says the driver was arrested on suspicion of possession for sale and of other crimes.
