Shortly before 7:00 p.m. on Monday, August 4, 2008, a trooper with the Nebraska State Patrol Troop C Headquarters-Grand Island stopped a blue 2005 Dodge Caravan with Ohio plates for speeding near MM278 on Interstate 80. The trooper was given consent to search the vehicle. The search led to the seizure of 225 lbs. of marijuana. 160 lbs. of the drug was located in two large hockey bags in the back of the minivan.
