LINCOLN, Neb. -- Two men from Maryland were jailed in Nebraska after a state trooper found 92 pounds of marijuana in their car during an Interstate 80 traffic stop, authorities said.
Anthony Coles, 45, and his passenger, 43-year-old Herbert Townsend, both of Silver Spring, Md., each face a charge of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, according to the Nebraska State Patrol.
The trooper stopped their eastbound Dodge van Sunday in Lincoln for speeding and following too closely.
The trooper asked to search the van after smelling marijuana. The marijuana was hidden in luggage, authorities said.
