A Thursday night traffic stop by an Oregon State Police (OSP) trooper led to the seizure of 17 pounds of Marijuana near Wilsonville. A Central Point man was arrested and lodged in jail.
On May 10, 2012 at approximately 11:26 PM, an OSP senior trooper stopped a 2003 Ford Escort with Washington license plates on Interstate 5 at milepost 284 northbound for two traffic violations.
The driver was identified as NICHOLAS KEITH JOLLY, age 21, of Central Point. There was a female passenger in the vehicle.
The trooper called a narcotics canine handler from the Washington County Sheriff's office for assistance. A subsequent investigation and search led to the discovery of 17 pounds of Marijuana and 32 ounces of THC oil. Estimated value of the controlled substances is approximately $40,000.
JOLLY was taken into custody and lodged in the Clackamas County Jail for Unlawful Possession and Delivery of a Controlled Substance-Marijuana. The female was not charged and was released at the scene.
The OSP Drug Enforcement Section is continuing the investigation.
