A 50-year-old man caught Monday in Utah with hundreds of pounds of marijuana and thousands of THC vape pens and cartridges was charged Tuesday and could spend up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
A Utah Highway Patrol trooper pulled the Rhode Island man over on eastbound Interstate 80 in Summit County for an unspecified equipment violation, according to charges filed Wednesday in the Utah District of the United States District Court.
The man, who was alone, told the trooper he borrowed the van he was driving to help move a friend’s belongings to Rhode Island.
