MANHATTAN, Kan. | Officers with an eastern Kansas county confiscated more than 800 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $1.6 million.
Geary County Sheriff Jim Jensen says the marijuana was found Saturday during a stop on Interstate 70. Jensen says St. Mark Maschmeier pulled over a tractor-trailer truck for a routine traffic stop near Manhattan and searched the vehicle after becoming suspicious of the driver.
Jensen says Maschmeier discovered the marijuana bales, which weighed 830 pounds, concealed in a false ceiling compartment. Jensen said it was one of the largest marijuana seizures in Geary County history.
The Manhattan Mercury reports that the driver of the truck, who was from California, was arrested and is being held in Geary County jail.
