200 Pounds of Marijuana Seized in I-80 Traffic Stop Near Cheyenne
The Wyoming Highway Patrol is crediting their close relationship with the Laramie County Sheriff s Office for a 200-pound marijuana bust near Cheyenne last month.
The bust occurred on Dec. 20 at approximately 7:13 p.m. near mile marker 357 on Interstate 80.
Sheriff s spokesman Deputy Jason Gillott says K-9 Hilde and her handler, Sgt. Gilmore, were called to assist troopers after they stopped a trucker who was hauling apples from Washington to Florida.
Hilde alerted on the cab, where eight suitcases containing 200 pounds of marijuana were found. It was a great partnership, said Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Tim Romig. We sincerely appreciate all of the hard work the sheriff s office does and we re very happy to have them as part of our fellow agencies.
