OTTAWA -The Franklin County Sheriff's Office announced today that on Tuesday it made what might turn out to be the state's second-largest cash seizure of drug sales proceeds on record.
Sheriff Craig A. Davis said his department hadn't yet determined the total amount of cash it seized from a semi-trailer that was parked at a rest area on Interstate 35, about 10 miles southwest of Ottawa.
The state's largest cash seizure of drug sales proceeds occurred when the Colby Police Department seized $3.7 million in January 2000 from a rental car stopped for a traffic violation on Interstate 70 in Colby.
Davis said that at about 10:45 a.m. Tuesday, Franklin County deputy Carl Bentley and his police dog were checking a rest area along southbound I-35 when he made contact with Carlos Angelo, age unavailable, of Mexico, and asked permission to search the tractor-trailer rig that Angelo had been driving.
Davis said that after Angelo granted permission, Bentley conducted a search and seized a substantial amount of cash from the trailer.
