77 pounds of marijuana seized in Iowa traffic stop

SIOUX CITY | A Colorado man was arrested in Sioux City for having 77 pounds of marijuana in his vehicle Sunday, authorities say.

Darrel Allen Wait, 34, of Thornton, Colorado, has been charged with possession with intent to deliver, two counts of possession of marijuana, possession of prescription drugs and other charges.

A Woodbury County Sheriff’s Deputy stopped Wait’s vehicle in Sioux City Sunday, according to a press release Wednesday. During the traffic stop and a subsequent investigation, deputies requested the assistance of a Sioux City Police Department K-9 unit.

The K-9 showed signs of drugs being present in the vehicle, which led deputies to execute a search warrant. Approximately 77 pounds of marijuana and other related material with a street value of approximately $450,000 was found inside, the release said.

Wait was arrested but is currently out on bond.
