Drug Bust

Two Portland, Oregon men are behind bars after a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper reportedly caught them speeding with roughly 34 pounds of drugs.

They recovered approximately 1,000 live marijuana plants, 200 pounds of processed marijuana products and byproducts, tens of thousands of dollars in U.S. currency.

Last year was a busy one for the Laramie County Sheriff's Office, including its four-legged crime fighters -- K-9 Arie, K-9 Hilde, K-9 Tecca, and K-9 Tyr.

What could have been a simple traffic stop in Laramie County turned into a drug bust on July 27. A Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper stopped a 2021 Hyundai Kona on Interstate 80 east of Cheyenne for speeding. The trooper became suspicious of the occupants due to the inconsistent and implausible travel plans which they provided. ...

Troopers with the Wyoming Highway Patrol seized hundreds of pounds of marijuana products during a traffic stop in Cheyenne over the weekend, according to police.

A Mexico man who was arrested along with three others following a drug bust on I-80 near Cheyenne last year has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.

Officers also were granted a search warrant for a hotel room where the suspects were staying.

Beck's statement did not indicate where the snowplow driver found the money.

Police entered a bedroom where a baby was asleep and found a man asleep face-down on the floor.

The officer requested a K-9 unit, and Wright then allegedly admitted that he had marijuana in the U-Haul.
