HERSHEY, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska State Patrol says a traffic stop near North Platte on Interstate 80 has led to the seizure of nearly 50 pounds of marijuana.

The patrol says a trooper stopped a pickup Monday afternoon at the Hershey exit for a license plate violation. The trooper says he smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the truck and searched it, turning up 47 pounds of marijuana inside three plastic totes in the cab of the pickup.

The driver of the truck — a 30-year-old California man Christopher Jensen — was arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and not having a driver’s license.
