Yesterday afternoon, March 29, a traffic stop conducted by a trooper from the Indiana State Police-Versailles Post led to the discovery of a large amount of marijuana and cash which resulted in the driver being arrested on felony charges.

Initial estimates indicated the weight of the packaged marijuana to be in excess of 70 pounds. Over $16,000 in US Currency was also located in the car.

The marijuana is estimated to have a street value of $150,000 to $200,000.
