A Friday afternoon traffic stop by Oregon State Police south of Roseburg led to the arrest of a Boise, Idaho man after the trooper found approximately 8 pounds of marijuana in the man's car. The OSP Drug Enforcement Section is continuing the investigation.

Subsequent investigation with the assistance of an OSP drug detection canine led to the discovery in the car's trunk of approximately 8 pounds of marijuana in a box. Estimated value of the seized marijuana is $20,000.

Johnson was arrested without incident and lodged in the Douglas County Jail for Unlawful Possession and Delivery of a Controlled Substance - Marijuana.
