Elderly couple claims marijuana was for Christmas presents

Sixty pounds of marijuana found in traffic stop
YORK – Approximately 60 pounds of high grade marijuana were found Tuesday, Dec. 19, during a traffic stop initiated by the York County Sheriff’s Department on Interstate 80 – and the elderly couple transporting it claimed they intended to give it away as Christmas gifts.

Lt. Paul Vrbka with the sheriff’s department said deputies initiated a traffic stop in the Bradshaw area after they saw a Toyota Tacoma driving over the center line and the driver failing to signal.

When they stopped the vehicle, he said, deputies could immediately smell the strong odor of raw marijuana.

Vrbka said the county’s canine unit alerted to the presence of a controlled substance and a probable cause search was conducted of the vehicle.

Hmmmm. Can't imagine What I'd said if I opened a gift on Christmas morning (45 years ago, to old for that crap now) and found a pound of pot. Sell half and have alot of money for then, and smoke the rest over the next year. Maybe a few ounces to friends?
Can't help but laugh...........
