Traffic stop on Interstate 5 leads to 122 pounds of drugs, two arrests

Posted

Oregon State Police seized 122 pounds of illegal drugs Wednesday morning during a traffic stop on Interstate 5, officials said.

A trooper stopped a car going south near Albany for multiple traffic violations, police said Thursday. A drug-sniffing dog helped police locate and seize about 112 pounds of methamphetamine, 5.6 pounds of cocaine and 4.4 pounds of fentanyl, police said.

The drug seizure was “significant,” the agency said.



Two Washington men face federal charges of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute the illegal drugs, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon said.
