The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office says a vehicle was stopped on Highway 77 near Van Dorn around noon yesterday for tinted windows. Chief Deputy Ben Houchin says after smelling marijuana a probable cause search was conducted.
Two Lincoln Police officers found the crack, which Houchin says is rare these days. “We’re not seeing it here. Back in the early to mid-90’s we had it all the time.” He says also inside the Ford Fusion, which had California plates, was 22 pounds of marijuana.
34 year old Joel Ramirez of Illinois was arrested on two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and failing to have a drug tax stamp.
