EMPHASIS: Drug Seizure On I-70


On February 24, 2015, a Missouri state trooper stopped a 2015 Infiniti QX60 for a traffic violation on eastbound Interstate 70 near the 40-mile marker in Lafayette County, Missouri. During the course of the traffic stop, inconsistencies and deceptive behavior of the driver led the trooper to ask for consent to search the vehicle, which was granted. The trooper subsequently searched the vehicle, locating 400 pounds of edible marijuana chocolate bars concealed inside boxes in the cargo area of the vehicle.
Jeffrey J. Woo, 42, from Ladera Ranch, California, was arrested for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance and transported to the Lafayette County Jail.
The charge for which the above individual was arrested is mere accusation and not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the above charge must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
