LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man from Iowa was arrested after deputies found marijuana in his car after stopping it along Interstate 80 near Lincoln, NE. The Lancaster County (NE) Sheriff’s Office says a deputy pulled over the car around 11 a.m. Friday after seeing the driver fail to signal a lane change near the U.S. Highway 77 exit.

The deputy reported smelling marijuana in the car, and a subsequent search turned up 114 pounds of pot and some cannabis edibles. The man, who lives in Sioux City, Iowa, was arrested on suspicion of possession for sale and suspicion of other crimes. His name was not immediately released.
