5/14/13 - State Police in Maryland say a Livingston County man is facing felony drug charges after being pulled over last week with nearly 40 pounds of pot in his minivan. Police say the van, driven by 52-year-old Stewart Robert Deerr of Unadilla Township, had a malfunctioning headlight and was pulled over on I-70 last Thursday. Troopers say the man was nervous in talking to the officer, who then called for a police dog to scan the vehicle. After the dog alerted and a search was performed, officers say the trooper found 39 bricks of marijuana in a drum case in the back of the minivan. Police say cocaine was also found in the vehicle.
Deerr has been charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and cocaine and other offenses. Heâs being held on a $250,000 bond. (JK)
