During the first stop, K9 Mack alerted troopers to a rig containing 254 kilograms of cocaine valued at $5.1 million and two kilograms of methamphetamine worth approximately $22,000. In a second commercial vehicle inspection, K9 Drake's alert led officers to 11 pounds of marijuana valued at $33,000, one gram of methamphetamine estimated at $100, and a stolen UTV. Both interdictions followed positive K9 alerts during routine commercial motor vehicle inspections.
