1 duffle bag? Whoever snitched her out drove right by them with 5 more. Distraction!!!!

[@jglock303]

Facts

[@KittPowell]

[@cardboardcrawlersrc8805]

[@stevent4955]

A lot of lives would have been destroyed from that black duffel bag

[@ToddAndelin]

[@freespeech.7254]

Now, the tipser got a bigger load by ratting on this one😂😂

[@cathybenadaro]

I remember random dui check points.Nothing wrong with having them on the highways.We have got to stop these mules.

[@misterdeplorable2088]

Driving under the speed limit is a crime now ?

[@katiesiouxlamoureaux7757]

Minimum hwy speed is 40 so idk how slow she was going lol

[@Fugubro754]

Going under the speed limit is illegal cuz it causes accidents. Very dangerous

[@user-mu5dk7vx4r]

And watch them lose the case due to no PC

[@katiesiouxlamoureaux7757]

Weird that it was one bag conveniently sitting on the seat just inside the door LoL 🙄🧐

[@GoAskAlice23]

The drugs originated from somewhere, the border or a pain clinic. Perhaps plea bargaining is necessary.

[@venessamaxwell8105]

Diversion load that makes sense. My God save us from this horrible scourge

[@caddywhompas4573]

Outstanding work trooper you saved the lives of hundreds possibly thousands by stoping it
