K-9 Sniffs Out 58 Pounds Of Pot In MD

On November 2, police in Hyattsville uncovered a cache of marijuana that weighed in at 58 pounds, about the same as an adult golden retriever.

Hyattsville City police said that much pot fetches about $527,000 on the street.

A K9 unit smelled out the stash, during an investigation into a reported assault. Officers arrived at the scene on the 4800 block of Rhode Island Avenue looking for Dean Roy Thomas, suspected in the assault.

The search for Thomas led officers to a business that he owned on Rhode Island Avenue. Police sealed off a perimeter around the business and were able to take Thomas into custody.
