Drug Bust In Weed Was Not Weed

A very early morning traffic stop led to a very large drug bust Wednesday in the Siskiyou County town of Weed. At 1:30am a Weed Police officer made a traffic stop on a car occupied by a 48-year-old man from Stockton and a 33-year-old woman from Woodbridge. A search of the car was done and officers reported finding what looked like wrapped Christmas presents that contained about 20 pounds of illegal drugs. The Department has not specified if it’s believed to be methamphetamine, cocaine or something else, but the plastic wrapped parcels appear to contain a white powder. There were also two unregistered semi-auto handguns reportedly found.
