JACKSON, GA — Sheriff's deputies seized a whopping 102 pounds of marijuana this week during what started as a routine traffic stop on Interstate 75 south of Atlanta.
Deputies in Butts County stopped a Subaru Forester for a traffic violation on Tuesday near Exit 202 on I-75 South near Jackson, the sheriff's office said in a social media post. After stopping the SUV, a deputy smelled a "strong odor of marijuana," according to the sheriff's office.
That odor, the sheriff's office says, was coming from the massive stash of dozens of bags of the drug being carried by Josharon Kubli, 22. Kubli was charged with drug trafficking.
