$750,000 IN DRUGS RECOVERED DURING I-70 TRAFFIC STOP

(Preble County, OH)--Drugs crossing the country from west to east often pass through Preble County on I-70.  This particular load, though, didn’t make it.  Earlier this week, deputies stopped a minivan.  A search of the vehicle turned up 246 pounds of marijuana and four pounds of hallucinogenic mushrooms.  The drugs have an estimated street value of three quarters of a million dollars.  A California man was taken to the Preble County Jail and charged with aggravated trafficking.
