Crash Leads To 238-Pound Pot Bust

Tracks in the snow leading from a crashed car to a nearby bridge overpass on New Mexico’s I-40 led officers to a monster pot bust. State police say officers patrolling the stretch near Tucumcari Saturday discovered 40-year-old Henry Alan Lowe of El Paso, Texas, had lost control of his sedan and crashed into a snow pile. Then they noticed tracks leading back and forth from the trunk of his car to the bridge. Digging a little deeper, officers found large plastic wrapped bundles that totaled 238 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of more than $642,000.
