Deputies stopped an SUV traveling on Interstate 40. They conversed with the driver for a bit and soon received permission to search the vehicle. While nothing seemed out of the ordinary, cops weren’t so sure about the spare tire.
To them it appeared to be too dense.
The alert and extremely determined deputies weren’t letting it go. Instead the SUV was taken to a local automotive shop so the tire could be taken apart and inspected.
The cops suspicions proved to be correct, when 42 pounds of meth was found concealed in the spare tire.
The driver of the SUV was charged with ‘manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance’
