Interstate 40 Drug Busts In Pope County Yield 59 Pounds Of Marijuana, Vape Cartridges, And Cash Seizure - kkam.com
Arkansas State Police troopers seized nearly 60 pounds of marijuana, THC vape products, and more than $4,500 in cash during two separate traffic stops two hours apart on Interstate 40 in Pope County, Arkansas. The first stop happened around 2:15 p.m.
The first stop happened around 2:15 p.m. Wednesday, when troopers pulled over a Nissan Rogue traveling eastbound near mile marker 72 for traffic violations. Inside, they found 30 individually packaged bundles of marijuana weighing roughly 30 pounds. Troopers arrested the driver, 39-year-old Darnell Keith Russell Reed of Waynesboro, Virginia, and the passenger, 36-year-old Ashley Renee Carter, also of Waynesboro.
Arkansas State Police did not release further details on the second stop in the excerpt provided.
For drivers moving through Pope County on I-40, the stops are a reminder that troopers are actively working traffic violations as a way into larger drug cases. Two arrests and a five-figure seizure came out of a single afternoon of routine stops, the kind of enforcement that can turn a broken taillight into a felony case in under two hours.
