Big marijuana bust in Mandan

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — The Highway Patrol says it seized 110 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop on Interstate 94 in Mandan.

Authorities said a 24-year-old California man and a 20-year-old Wisconsin man are in jail.

They said the marijuana was packed in heat-sealed bags in the utility boxes of a service-type truck.

The patrol said the marijuana was discovered by a patrol dog after the truck was stopped for a traffic violation Thursday night. The street value of the marijuana is estimated at more than $100,000.
