ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State Police say a trooper’s traffic stop on Interstate 5 south of Roseburg led to the arrest of a Seattle man after the trooper and a drug dog found nearly 23 pounds of marijuana in the vehicle.
Sgt. Dave Randall says the trooper stopped a Ford Explorer with Washington plates on Friday for a traffic violation. The driver was identified as 27-year-old Peter Sasnett.
Additional investigation with the help of a state police drug detection dog led to discovery of the pot, with an estimated value of $60,000.
Sasnett was arrested and booked into the Douglas County Jail for investigation of unlawful possession and unlawful delivery of a controlled substance.
