Pa. traffic stop nets 200 lbs. of marijuana

STEVENS, Pa. (AP) — State police say a routine traffic stop in central Pennsylvania led to the seizure of 200 pounds of high-grade marijuana.

A Texas woman and a California man are in custody after their arrests Tuesday in East Cocalico Township, Lancaster County.

Troopers say they recovered seven duffel bags of marijuana valued at more than $600,000 after pulling over two vehicles on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Investigators say an SUV was closely following the truck towing a boat, leading to the two vehicles being stopped separately.

Troopers say the Deborah Finn, of Austin Texas, and Harland Hendricks Jr., of Eldorado, Calif., gave inconsistent stories about their destination, eventually leading to a search that found the marijuana, three loaded handguns and $40,000.
