HAMILTON COUNTY — A call to 911 of an erratic driver on Interstate 80 in Hamilton County led to the arrest of a Minnesota man for driving under the influence of drugs and the discovery of a mobile marijuana grow.
According to Deb Collins, spokesperson for the Nebraska State Patrol, shortly after 8:30 a.m., on Wednesday, July 29, an NSP trooper responded to a citizen call of a possible drunk driver in a Ford Taurus eastbound on Interstate 80.
The trooper stopped a vehicle matching the description near the Henderson Interchange, just over the York/Hamilton county line. A search led to the seizure of seven canning jars containing 18 separate packages of medicinal marijuana purchased in California. In the trunk of the vehicle, the trooper located an active marijuana grow, containing 13 marijuana plants. The plants were inside two rubber totes (one inside the other) with a working fan, digital thermometer and fluorescent lights.
The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle, David Herman, 56, of Glenville, Minn., was arrested and taking to the Hamilton County Jail on charges of driving under the influence of drugs, manufacturing marijuana and possession of marijuana over an ounce, less than a pound.
