Michigan state police bust California driver with enough deadly drug to kill about one-third of the state
Story by Bradford Betz • Yesterday 7:54 PM
Michigan State Police (MSP) on Tuesday busted a California driver who had allegedly smuggled fentanyl across the state.
State Troopers assigned to MSP’s Hometown Security Team (HST) pulled over a vehicle driving eastbound on I-94 in Paw Paw Township around 9:40 a.m. Tuesday. Troopers say the vehicle had a cracked windshield and the driver did not change lanes properly.
While searching the vehicle, troopers found four kilos of fentanyl stuffed in a duffle bag, according to the agency. Each kilo, they said, was wrapped in an individual heat-sealed bag.
Information obtained during the investigation led authorities to a "second venue" where they discovered two additional kilos of suspected fentanyl and around $30,000 in cash.
MSP said the driver was a 25-year-old man from California who had been transporting or smuggling fentanyl into Michigan.
