ROSEBURG, Ore. -- A Trooper made a traffic stop Monday night that led to the discovery of over seven pounds of marijuana and charges for two Washington men.
OSP officials say that a trooper stopped a pickup at around 9:30 p.m., and contacted the occupants, later identified as driver Marc D. Wesley, 42, from Maple Falls, Wash., and the passenger, Gerardo Torres-Rodriguez, 17, of Sedro Woolley, Wash.
An investigation found the men had more than seven pounds of pot hidden in the passenger compartment.
