Passing Cars Pick Up Marijuana Bales Tossed From Fleeing SUV

[Jacob Redmond]

An Arizona sheriff's department says some of the marijuana bales that suspects tossed out of an SUV during a high-speed chase last week got picked up by passing vehicles.

Dash-cam video released by the Pinal County Sheriff's Office shows many of the 21 bales of pot inside the SUV flying out a window and onto roadways during the March 4 chase.

Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Knupp said that 17 bales totaling 374 pounds of marijuana were recovered and that four or five vehicles were seen stopping to pick up the rest.

The chase spanned two interstates in south-central Arizona, ending when the SUV pulled off a two-lane road and stopped after driving over tire-puncturing sticks.

Two men were arrested on suspicion of marijuana trafficking offenses and flight.

I believe it is our civic duty to keep our nation's highways clean and safe. A 22 pound (approx.) bale is definitely a road hazard that needs to be picked up!

Awfully nice of those two gentlemen to drive around tossing out bales like that though, don't you think?

This article reminds me of the stretch of I-25 in Colorado Springs that is actually maintained by a Dispensary. I always thought about taking a picture, now I really wish I had.
