Troopers: Drugs wrapped as Christmas gifts

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- State troopers found 71 pounds of marijuana and other drugs wrapped as Christmas gifts in a vehicle stopped for a driving violation. Police said the drugs seized Monday on Interstate 80 south of Toledo have an estimated street value of $330,000. A trooper stopped the rented sport utility vehicle for following another vehicle too closely, leading to a search. Investigators found drugs in 10 gift-wrapped boxes. The 31-year-old driver from Eureka, California, was jailed. -- Associated Press
