A driving under the influence stop ended with the confiscation of 7 pounds of marijuana, more than 10 pounds of methamphetamine, several thousand dollars and other indicators of drug sales.

A California Highway Patrol officer pulled the vehicle over just after midnight April 21 on Highway 50 near Schnell School Road in Placerville.

During the stop the officer developed probable cause to search the car. The driver was arrested and all contraband seized. The name of the suspect was not released.

“To put it in perspective, this amount of methamphetamine alone could be enough for approximately 228,000 individual doses,” CHP said on their Facebook page.
