BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Authorities say a 29-year-old Nebraska man has been arrested after a traffic stop near Cardwell turned up more than eight pounds of marijuana.

Jefferson County Sheriff Craig Doolittle says a deputy pulled Justin Houston over for speeding on Interstate 90 east of Cardwell in southwestern Montana on Sunday afternoon. Deputies who searched the vehicle say they found the marijuana divided into several packages.
