Traffic stop uncovers $360K of marijuana

? A total of 560 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of $360,000 was seized Thursday night during a commercial vehicle stop by Johnson County sheriff’s officers.

A tractor-trailer rig was stopped on Interstate 35 near 151st Street. The driver, an El Paso, Texas, man, was arrested on charges of possession with intent to deliver marijuana and for not having a drug stamp.

The tractor-trailer was stopped as deputies participated in a nationwide 72-hour commercial vehicle safety enforcement event. The marijuana was found during a search of the trailer, sheriff’s officers said.
