State Patrol releases info on big pot bust

August 8, 2008 By admin

Authorities have just now released information about a big drug bust in western Iowa that happened back on May 4th. It happened on Interstate 80 near the Anita exit in Cass County.

Sergeant Brian Michaelson, with the Iowa State Patrol, says a trooper pulled over and searched a semi.

He says inside the trailer, the trooper found a false wall containing approximately 751 pounds of marijuana.  The pot was valued at nearly 1.3 million dollars. Two Delhi, Californina men, 28-year-old Omar Alejandro Aispuro and 45-year-old Oscar Quintero, each pled guilty to one count of possession with the intent to deliver marijuana.

Each received a 5-year suspended prison sentence and placed on unsupervised probation for a period of one year.
