112 pounds of marijuana found



More than 100 pounds of marijuana was discovered by police after a pulling over Hopkinsville man who was driving in the wrong lane of Fort Campbell Boulevard, according to a Hopkinsville Police Department report. Guilvi Perales Quinteros, 20, of South O’Neal Ave, was stopped by police after he pulled into the wrong lane when leaving Waffle House around noon Thursday. The department’s Housing Authority K-9 unit was called to the stop and “indicated” on the 2007 Isuzu sports utility vehicle, said HPD spokesman Paul Ray. After the K-9 gave police reason to believe there were drugs in the vehicle, Quinteros consented to a search of his vehicle. Officers found 112.5 pounds of marijuana in several large sealed packages, according to the arrest report. The packages were in duffle bags in the trunk area of the SUV.
