A California man is behind bars after a traffic stop around 1:00 Wednesday afternoon on Highway 77 and Rosa Parks Way. Lancaster County Sheriff’s Captain Tommy Trotter says the vehicle was pulled over for driving on the shoulder.
“The officer discovered a raw marijuana odor and a probable cause search revealed almost 400 pounds of marijuana,” Trotter says. “The total was 383 pounds of raw marijuana, 16 pounds of THC wax and one pound THC powder.”
A fully loaded handgun was also found during the search. 40 year old Michael Forester was arrested and booked for possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, evading the drug tax and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony.
This is the second arrest involving a large amount of marijuana in the past week.
