(KMZA)--A traffic stop in Nemaha County leads to the arrest of an Illinois man on drug charges and seizure about ten pounds of marijuana.

The Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department says 60-year-old George Cook, of Girard, Illinois, was arrested Thursday evening on charges of distribution of marijuana and no drug tax stamp following a traffic stop on U.S. 36 Highway.

Sheriff Rich Vernon says the Cook's vehicle was searched after Deputy Sgt. Darren Wessel's  police service dog Uno hit on the vehicle, where the pot was seized.

Vernon says the investigation leads them to believe the marijuana was being transported from Colorado to Illinois.

Cook remains in the Nemaha County Jail, where at last report bond had not yet been set.
