OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say they arrested a man after drugs were found in his sport utility vehicle after a traffic stop along Interstate 80 in east Omaha.
The stop was made around 10:30 p.m. Thursday. The Douglas County 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 (12 kilograms) of marijuana and 2,000 vials of what deputies suspect is hash oil.
