111 lbs. of cocaine seized during traffic stop on I-70: Sheriff's office
DENVER (KDVR) — A traffic stop led law enforcement to the discovery of 111 lbs. of cocaine hidden in a car driving on Interstate 70 on Tuesday.
The Eagle County Sheriff's Office said it started just before 10 a.m. when a detective with the Gore Range All Narcotics Interdiction Task Force pulled over a vehicle for not staying in its lane on eastbound Interstate 70 near mile marker 140.
Multiple agencies work to capture eluding, armed suspects in stolen vehicle
The driver was given a warning, but the sheriff's office said he made statements that 'raised suspicions fo further criminal activity,' so a trained narcotics detection dog was brought in to inspect the vehicle.
The K-9 signaled that drugs might be present, leading to a search in which 44 individually wrapped packages were found hidden in the vehicle. The substance in the packages tested presumptively positive for cocaine.
The driver was identified by the sheriff's office as Scott Douglas Robinson, 34, of Ontario, Canada. He was taken to the Eagle County Detention Facility, where he is being held on a $1,000,000 bond and is facing charges of:
Unlawful distribution of a controlled substance (cocaine) – Class 1 drug felony
Unlawful possession of a controlled substance (cocaine) – Class 1 drug felony
Special offender (cocaine) – Class 1 drug felony
Conspiracy – Class 1 drug felony
