A traffic stop Friday on Interstate 90 in Kellogg turned into a million-dollar marijuana bust.
An Idaho State Police trooper deployed his drug detection K-9 during the stop of a black Chevrolet Tahoe, and the dog detected illegal drugs.
A probable cause search of the vehicle revealed 378 pounds of marijuana. Two suspects were arrested for marijuana trafficking and booked into the Shoshone County Jail.
The marijuana is valued in excess of $1 million.
