Three people have been arrested, nearly 40 pounds of marijuana seized along with more than $100,000 of cash confiscated during two traffic stops in central Nebraska.

The Nebraska State Patrol reports troopers conducted a search of a sport utility vehicle pulled over late Wednesday afternoon. NSP says troopers found a small amount of marijuana, nine grams of psilocybin mushrooms, 19 unknown pills, nearly an ounce of an unknown white powder, 2 THC edibles, and $130,000 in cash, suspected to be drug money.
