427 pounds of marijuana in trash bags found in southern Weld County

?w=775

More than 400 pounds of marijuana were found in trash bags near Lochbuie.

On Feb. 13, Weld County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the 15000 block of Weld County 6, where a property owner reported several trash bags being dumped in front of his property.

When deputies opened the bags, they found suspected marijuana leaves, according to a Weld County Sheriff’s Office news release. More trash bags full of suspected marijuana were also found west of the property.

Deputies found 427 pounds of suspected marijuana, which were left in a secure area to dry, booked into evidence and are set for destruction, according to the release. The most common form of destruction for drugs is incineration.

Deputies currently have no suspect leads for this case, according to a Weld County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.

Old lady question #839290172188406

Watching the half-pipe events and I'm wondering --- Is there a functional reason for the baggy clothing? Sometimes it looks like a sail trying to catch the wind.

Thanks so much for the hearts!!!

I've been kinda busy not watching the super bowl. Instead, I've been watching kids standing on boards to jump off the side of a man-made mountain while their parents watch through their fingers. Watching the skating was quite thrilling but not nearly as scary. Again, thank you for the hearts, they mean a lot!

What. A. Moment.

Watching as Team USA stepped onto the podium. After each received their gold medal the camera moved back to capture the whole group. And what a magnificent celebration of the very diversity that trump and his magats keep trying to vilify. In spite of those determined to destroy it, there's still beauty in who we are.
