Victoria Advocate | DPS seizes drugs and money: "The Texas Department of Public Safety seized 100 pounds of marijuana and $98,066 in two traffic stops on Feb. 18 and 19.

The first occurred on northbound U.S. Highway 59 just south of Telferner about 4:45 p.m, Feb. 18, said DPS Public Information Officer Trooper Gerald Bryant.

Troopers pulled over a Dodge truck for two traffic violations and noticed several indicators of criminal activity, Bryant said.

George Thomas Vickery, 56, of Macon, Ga., consented to a search and troopers found 43 bundles of marijuana in the truck's gas tank. The 100 pounds of marijuana have a street value of about $60,000, Bryant said.

Vickery was arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana, a second degree felony, Bryant said."
