JAMESTOWN, ND (WTAQ)- An Oshkosh man is behind bars in North Dakota.
Sheriff officials in Stutsman County say they arrested Bee Thor of Oshkosh after a traffic stop in Jamestown, North Dakota that turned up 476 pounds of marijuana.
Stutsman County Sheriff Chad Kaiser said Interstate 94 has become a pipeline for drug smuggling.
“This isn’t just personal use stuff, this is big loads that are coming through the area.”
Kaiser added that in the past month, they have seized over 700 pounds of marijuana. He said however, this stop was eye opening for many.
“The community is pretty surprised at this as well, as far as the quanity that is coming through.
Kaiser said they continue to find what they can, but still wonder how much they are missing.
“What are we really hitting, I mean, are we even putting a dent into it? It is troubling.”
Thor was one of two men taken into custody, and was charged with felony and misdemeanor drug possession.
