The first stop came early Monday and troopers found the marijuana with an estimated value of 165-thousand dollars. Two Michigan men were arrested on charges of possession with the intent to deliver marijuana. The other stop came later Monday. Officers searched the car and found the money hidden in the spare tire after noticing the tire seemed heavy.
