Traffic stop leads to marijuana arrest

WILLOW — Alaska State Troopers say a traffic stop led to a marijuana bust north of Houston.

Troopers patrolling the Parks Highway on Monday night stopped a car at Mile 64 for a traffic violation.

An officer determined that 33-year-old Saul Sheidt of Kotzebue was driving with a revoked license.

Troopers also say the officer found about two pounds of marijuana in the car.

Sheidt was charged with two counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance and one of driving with a revoked license.

He was jailed in Palmer with bail set at $5,000.
