Ricky Jaggars of Campbellsburg, Kentucky, was charged with a felony count of trafficking marijuana, according to a Mesquite Police Department news release on Thursday. Jaggars was transported and booked into the Clark County Detention Center. Jail records indicate he is no longer in custody. “While speaking with the driver, the officer observed indications the driver was involved in criminal drug activity and initiated an investigation,” according to the news release. The traffic stop occurred at about 1 p.m. on Sunday. The marijuana buds were found during a search of the vehicle. Investigators found evidence the marijuana was being transported for illegal resale in several Midwestern states.   [by 8NewsNow.com](https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/150-pounds-of-marijuana-buds-seized-in-i-15-traffic-stop-northeast-of-las-vegas/) [Recreational Cannabis News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/recreational-cannabis-news) ![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=200&height=200&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) #### [Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) At 420 Intel, we cover cannabis legalization news throughout the world, offer reliable information for cannabis business owners, detail technological advances that impact the marijuana industry, cover marijuana rallies from across the globe, and everything in between. - - - [Recreational Cannabis News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/recreational-cannabis-news) [![4 People Arrested After Attempting To Smuggle 150 Pounds Of Marijuana At San Diego International Airport](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/Four%20passengers%20being%20arrested%20at%20San%20Diego%20International%20Airport%20after%20attempting%20to%20smuggle%20over%20150%20pounds%20of%20marijuana%20on%20a%20longhaul%20flight.jpeg?width=550&height=395&name=Four%20passengers%20being%20arrested%20at%20San%20Diego%20International%20Airport%20after%20attempting%20to%20smuggle%20over%20150%20pounds%20of%20marijuana%20on%20a%20longhaul%20flight.jpeg)](https://420intel.com/blog/4-people-arrested-after-attempting-to-smuggle-150-pounds-of-marijuana-at-san-diego-international-airport) - [![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=80&height=80&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) - 4 November 2024 #### [4 People Arrested After Attempting To Smuggle 150 Pounds Of Marijuana At San Diego International Airport](https://420intel.com/blog/4-people-arrested-after-attempting-to-smuggle-150-pounds-of-marijuana-at-san-diego-international-airport) Four passengers were arrested atSan Diego International Airport (SAN)last week after allegedly...
