Los Angeles traffic stop leads to major arrest after K-9 finds 50 pounds of meth
What started as an average traffic stop in East Los Angeles turned into a major drug bust arrest with the help of a K-9, officials announced Monday.
The California Highway Patrol said it happened during the early morning hours of April 10.
Two officers with the CHP's East L.A. division pulled over a vehicle traveling northbound on the I-5 Freeway for a 'mechanical violation,' according to the department's Instagram post.
'However,' the caption read, 'their investigation uncovered much more.'
With the help of a K-9 named J.D., the officers uncovered about 50 pounds of methamphetamine in the driver's vehicle.
Details are limited, and officials did not immediately identify the suspect or state the exact charges, but CHP called the incident a 'major arrest.'

Honolulu police said they have opened an investigation into a case of alleged child abuse after a video went viral on social media. On Thursday evening, a witness scrolling through Instagram saw a post of a woman allegedly assaulting a girl. The witness was able to identify the woman and child and called 911.

The viral post, shared on @hhnewz, asked, 'What would you do in this situation if you saw this ??' as a woman seated in a car at Kapolei Commons appears to yank the child by her hair so that she falls onto her knees on the pavement in a parking lot, in front of an open car door.
