Redding Man In Record North Dakota Pot Bust

(AP) – A traffic stop on Interstate 94 in southeastern North Dakota ended with officers seizing nearly 200 pounds of marijuana and arresting a man from Redding. Stutsman County Sheriff’s Sgt. Matt Thom stopped a van Monday about 9 miles east of Jamestown, and smelled marijuana. A search turned up 198 pounds of the drug and nearly $5,000 in cash. Thirty-one-year-old Mae Thao, from St. Paul, Minnesota, and 30-year-old Xang Thao, of Redding, California, face drug charges. Sheriff Chad Kaiser says the bust likely was the largest in county history.
