WINNEMUCCA — In one 24-hour period Humboldt Sheriff’s Office deputies seized more than one pound of crystal meth, over a pound of marijuana, and more than an ounce of cocaine in two separate traffic stops on US 95.
The second stop occurred Thursday (Feb. 11) when Sgt. Lee Dove stopped a vehicle near Bengochea Circle for various traffic violations. According to a statement released by the HCSO, during the course of the stop Dove could smell what he believed to be marijuana coming from inside the car.
