WEST VIRGINIA (LOOTPRESS) – On Tuesday, May 17, 2022, Corporal J. E. Garren assisted a Public Service Commission Officer with a traffic stop on I-64 at the Teays Valley exit on a tractor-trailer for failing to stop at the weigh station.
The truck driver was a Cuban National who did not speak English. After smelling the odor of marijuana emitting from the cab of the truck and a positive indication by a Hurricane Police Department K9, a probable cause search was conducted. In the cargo area of the truck, three large cardboard boxes were located, which contained 88 vacuumed sealed bags of marijuana weighing over 100 pounds.
Bryan Larios Ramos, 21, and Reynier Garcia Vazquez, 33, were arrested and charged with Possession with Intent to Deliver Marijuana, Transporting Drugs into the State, and Conspiracy.
This investigation is active and ongoing.
