New York resident Marcus Allen Molina, 26, was pulled over in Valparaiso after an officer "noticed indications of marijuana possession or consumption within the vehicle," according to his arrest report. Molina readily admitted to having weed with him, but told the officer it was for "personal use," the report indicates.
However, a subsequent search uncovered 70 pounds of pot, which police estimate is worth $200,000. Molina was taken to jail, and his "personal stash" was confiscated.
