Mich. Cops Nab Grass Haul in Grass Lake

GRASS LAKE TOWNSHIP, Mich. – This township lived up to its name when authorities reported finding about 1,200 pounds of marijuana in a tractor-trailer.

The driver, a 43-year-old man from Tucson, Ariz., was jailed after Sunday’s bust at a weigh station along Interstate 94 in Grass Lake Township, about 75 miles west of Detroit.

The trucker had been stopped for what state police called an equipment violation. An inspection turned up 48 bales of marijuana hidden among a shipment of sports drinks.
