Driver Arrested After Failing to Secure 122 Pounds of Marijuana

Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol had to track down the driver of a Dodge Ram that was pulling a flatbed trailer after his packages of pot spilled onto the highway.

About 122 pounds of high grade weed packages were scattered on the side of Interstate 60 outside of Odessa. The haul was recovered while a trooper hunted down the driver.

It was determined that the $366,000 worth of pot fell out of a secret compartment that was hidden in the undercarriage of the trailer.

48-year-old Charlie Red of Colorado and 29-year-old Damaisy Rodriguez of Florida were arrested and charged with possession of more than one pound of marijuana and possession with intent to deliver.
