Go OHP!

Nice, very nice.

Damn, that's some serious weight. Stoners at the destination are going to be pretty bored for a while.

Is it common for traffickers to use freight to haul illicit stuff? I wonder if the drivers were the actual traffickers or hauling it unknowingly on behalf of a company fronting for traffickers? They're charged with possession but not trafficking... Hmm.

Ohio Troopers

wouldn't ya think the driver would be a little smarter than to be speeding, but that is exactly why they get caught, they're dumb.. Great job by my fellow Smokies

[TPD Cadet]

You cops are lucky that 99% of badguys aren't smart... at all... whatsoever. Otherwise your job would be alot more hard.

[pawncop]

Good job Ohio!!!!! Don't you know those guys are pumped? I remember my first bust was an over two oz/under four oz and I was cloud nine for a week.

[gotthblues]

STONIE-- they willl haul it anyway and everyway possible

[Mr. John Doe]

Well that dog can retire and live a happy life now.

Great Job Ohio, and should be interesting seeing an officer using the semi-truck as a squad car.

They do and I know this from past work experience. I worked for a small package time critical air shipper and we have caught some different contraband in the past. We aren't cheap to use either (like Fed Ex) so I guess they'll try anything. I"d put money on the fact that it gets sent via Fed Ex, DHL or UPS every night.

WOW, OHP is kicking some serious ***.... wasn't but a month or two back and they had a huge pot bust (or was it coke?) that broke the record at that time. Way to go boys.

Man, I'd hate to be the driver to get charged with possession if it wasn't mine.

You just never know what those ****heads are hiding in your freight shipment nowadays eh?

[haus409]

They're only facing 9 years for over 3k pounds?

Here is the story straight from the OSP's website. It has a picture also.

After the case is over we get to burn the stuff. The pigeons flying over the steel mill will be flying upside down and happy for a month. Unless they do a photo op and burn it in the open which will make the EPA crap a load.
