AUSTIN, Texas — A traffic stop on Interstate 35 in Georgetown led to a major drug bust in Williamson County on Wednesday.
According to the Williamson County Sheriff's Office, a deputy performed a traffic stop on a 2020 Honda Accord in the 4600 block of I-35 just before 1 p.m. on Aug. 21. The driver, an 18-year-old from San Antonio whose identity was not revealed, was the only person in the vehicle.
The deputy asked to search the vehicle, but the driver denied the request, prompting the deputy to call the K-9 Unit to the scene.
The K-9 sniffed around the vehicle and gave a positive sign of contraband in the vehicle. Deputies then searched the vehicle and subsequently found and seized over 124 pounds of marijuana and more than $2,000 in cash.
An investigation is still ongoing. The status of the driver was not provided by the Williamson County Sheriff's Office.
