A 37-year-old Citrus Heights man and another man from Sacramento were arrested by out-of-state authorities over the weekend after 44 pounds of marijuana were reportedly found inside the vehicle they were driving.
According to ABC 17-Missouri, state highway troopers arrested the pair on Jan. 4 around 10:30 p.m. after finding the marijuana in their vehicle, along with prescription medication hydrocodone.
