Shortly after 10 am Thursday morning, Wyoming Highway Patrol Troopers stopped the driver of a U-haul rental truck just east of Sundance on Interstate 90 for failure to maintain his vehicle within a single lane. Wyoming Highway Patrol Sergeant Stephen Townsend says that a drug detection K-9 alerted Troopers to the rear of the U-Haul.
Townsend said that it was the largest seizure of marijuana from one traffic stop by the Wyoming Highway Patrol in the last 5 years. Townsend also indicated that while the case remains under investigation, it is believed that the driver of the U-haul, 33-year-old Andrew Klassen from Canada, was transporting the marijuana from Missoula, Montana to Chicago, Illinois.
