LOBOS LOCATES 25 POUNDS OF MARIJUANA HIDDEN IN VEHICLE

  

Fayette County Sheriff’s K-9 Lobos has made another drug bust, discovering a 25 pound bundle of marijuana during a traffic stop Wednesday morning.

Just before 11 a.m. Sgt. Thumann pulled over 54-year-old Celerina Lopez Rosa, of Roma, for a traffic violation on I-10. Thumann said the driver had many criminal indicators including some discrepancies in his travel destination.

After consent was given to search the vehicle, Thumann observed a 5 gallon bucket used for oil in the back of Rosa’s truck. Lobos alerted Thumann that there were drugs in the bucket and further investigation uncovered a 25 pound bundle of marijuana hidden inside of it.

Rosa was taken to the Dan R. Beck Justice Center where he was charged with possession of marijuana.
