111 pounds of cocaine found hidden in vehicle
EAGLE COUNTY, Colo. (KREX) – A routine traffic stop on U.S. Interstate 70 ended with law enforcement finding over 100 pounds of cocaine.
Around 9:50 a.m., Tuesday, a Gore Range All Narcotics Interdiction Task Force (GRANITE) detective pulled over a vehicle not staying in its lane near mile marker 140. During the stop, the driver allegedly made statements that created 'suspicions of further criminal activity,' according to the Eagle County Sheriff's Office.
A trained narcotics detection dog was brought in to inspect the car. The K9 signaled that potential drugs were in the vehicle which led to a search. Forty-four individually wrapped packages of potential cocaine were found, weighing 111 pounds.
34-year-old Scott Douglas Robinson of Ontario, Canada, was taken into custody and transported to the Eagle County Detention Facility. He is being held on a $1 million.
Robinson is charged with unlawful distribution and possession of a controlled substance, special offender and conspiracy. All charges are class 1 drug felonies.
