Georgia troopers seize 1,800 pounds of marijuana and 4,000 THC cartridges from semi truck on I-20

Georgia troopers seized a large quantity of marijuana products from a tractor trailer initially stopped for a traffic violation.

Troopers recently stopped a tractor trailer for a traffic violation on I-20 in Carroll County, according to a June 8 statement from the Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS).

After speaking with the truck driver, a canine unit was brought to the scene.

K-9 Draco alerted to the presence of illegal substances on the truck.

A subsequent search of the trailer uncovered “four suspicious pallets hidden amongst other cargo in the trailer.”

“Thanks to the efforts of CIU and K-9 Draco more than 1800 pounds of marijuana and over 4,000 illegal THC vape cartridges were taken off the streets and helped to make our communities safer,” Georgia DPS said. “Every day our Troopers and Officers are out there working hard to make Georgia safer. While every stop has the potential to change one life, some stops have a far greater reach.”
