Drug Dog Sweep NC Man Arrested After 10Lbs of Marijuana Found

A North Carolina man was arrested in early February for allegedly possessing more than 10 pounds of marijuana and had an intent to distribute the drug.

Jonathan Easterlin, 35, of Bloomington, N.C., was pulled over for speeding on Interstate 90 near Mitchell. Court documents state Highway Patrol Trooper John Lord was going to give Easterlin a warning for speeding, but noticed Easterlin was visibly shaking and increasingly nervous. Lord asked about Easterlin’s past drug use, to which he replied he had used marijuana recently, but didn’t have any in the car.

Lord deployed his drug dog, Aros, who indicated the smell of drugs in the front passenger seat of the car. Upon a search, Lord found a large suitcase in the rear of the car containing 10 bags, each containing between 1 and 1 1/2 pounds of high-grade marijuana.

Possession with an intent to distribute more than 1 pound of marijuana and possession of more than 10 pounds of marijuana each carry a maximum penalty upon conviction of 15 years in prison and a $30,000 fine.
