Deputies stopped a white Nissan sedan for failing to maintain its lane and having illegal window tint. The traffic stop resulted in the seizure of the narcotics and thousands of dollars in cash. Deputies noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle after making contact with the driver.
K9 Tuco conducted an open-air sniff around the car, the press release said. K9 Tuco positively indicated on the vehicle for the presence of illegal narcotics.
