After the trooper made contact with the driver, K-9 “Migo” detected the odor of a trained substance. A search of the vehicle yielded over twelve pounds of methamphetamine, two pounds of fentanyl, and two pounds of marijuana. The driver was arrested and booked into the Bossier Parish Jail on the appropriate charges.
