Summarized from FreightWaves.
Michigan State Police Motor Carrier Officers stopped a semi around 2 p.m. on Sept. 24 on I-69 near Marshall, in Calhoun County, Michigan. Inside they found 92 bundles totaling about 167 kilograms — roughly 368 pounds — of suspected heroin, plus 174 handguns with obliterated serial numbers.
The driver, a man who had not been publicly identified as of publication, was arrested.
Why it matters: Routine motor-carrier stops are turning up major contraband — a reminder of how closely commercial vehicles are inspected, and why carriers need to know exactly who is in their cabs.
