"Upon arrival," the post states, "Deputy J. Grimm deployed K9 Arie to perform a free air sniff of the vehicle. K9 Arie alerted to the presence of illegal narcotics within the vehicle. A subsequent search of the car revealed 14.4 pounds of suspected raw marijuana, 2.6 pounds of suspected THC wax, and 2 pounds of suspected liquid THC."
As of the time of that post, the LCSO had not released the name(s) of those traveling in the vehicle.
