NYC Traffic Stop Leads to 300 Pounds of Pot
A routine traffic stop led police to a 300-pound stash of ********* in the Bronx.
Detectives noticed a strong odor of ********* coming from a car they stopped on Wednesday afternoon. Police say there were two bags containing about 25 pounds of ********* in the trunk.
The driver, 66-year-old Denroy Morgan, a Jamaican reggae artist from Springfield, Mass., was arrested.
But that wasn't all. Further investigation led to a house nearby on Taylor Avenue.
Police arrested a man seen leaving the house. They say 46-year-old Wayne Swavy of Mount Vernon, N.Y. had 16 pounds of pot in his car.
But the big find was inside the house. Police say they found 300 pounds of ********* there, which could be worth anywhere from $120,000 to $300,000 depending on quality.
