PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) - Mississippi authorities have seized
more than 400 pounds of marijuana after stopping a tractor-trailer
rig that failed to stop at a weigh station in coastal Jackson
County.
State transportation officials say the rig was traveling east on
Interstate 10 on Wednesday when it bypassed the scales. Officers
had it return to the weigh station, where they found the bundles of
marijuana and $115,000 in cash.
Authorities arrested Kevin Ray Bremmer of Jamaica, Robin Johnson
of West Palm Beach, Fla., and Andrew Dillon of Royal Palm Beach,
Fla.
All three men were in the Jackson County Jail on Thursday
pending initial court appearances. Each has been charged with
several misdemeanors and possession of marijuana with intent to
deliver.
