$6 million in cocaine discovered in Ohio traffic stop

A man from Ecatepec, Mexico, faces drug charges after authorities seized 154 pounds of cocaine from the vehicle he was driving.

On January 23, troopers stopped a semitrailer with Arizona plates for a commercial vehicle inspection on Interstate 70 near London. A drug-sniffing dog was sent in and alerted to the vehicle, where a search yielded cocaine worth around $6.3 million.

The drugs were concealed within cabinets in the truck.

Anyone with information about drug trafficking on Ohio’s roads or interstates is invited to call the Ohio State Highway Patrol at #677.
