Man Caught with 65 Pounds of Marijuana in Motor Home

The Utah Highway Patrol has arrested a New York man they say was carrying about 65 pounds of marijuana inside his motor home in eastern Utah.

Troopers pulled over the driver of a motor home for traffic and tinted window violations. Troopers say they became suspicious of the driver, 57-year-old Warren Debiew of New York.

The highway patrol says a police dog detected drugs in the motor home and a trooper then found about 65 pounds of marijuana.

Authorities say they suspect Debiew was transporting the drugs from the East Coast to California. Debiew was arrested and booked into the Emery County Jail.
