If there were a criminal’s handbook, you would think there would be a section on transporting drugs across Wyoming and why it’s a bad idea.
For starters, drugs are illegal in Wyoming.
It’s not like Oregon where you can shoot-up heroin laced with Liquid Plumber in a daycare center while setting fire to a small business and win a participation trophy.
Things are different in Wyoming. And the best way not to get arrested for transporting drugs across Wyoming is not to drive across Wyoming transporting drugs.
Try Colorado. It’s not Oregon but you’ve got a better shot there.
In Wyoming, you have to deal with Arie the drug dog.
Just last week alone, Arie a K-9 with the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office, was responsible for three different felony drug arrests.
That means a lot of drugs.
On February 9, Arie and his human handler were called out to a traffic stop at mile marker 383 in southeastern Wyoming.
When Arie made it out there, he detected a particular scent. Maybe it was because the motorists were carrying 69 pounds of raw marijuana in their vehicle.
On Valentine’s Day, Arie was sent out again. This time mile marker 8 heading south.
Once again, Arie caught a whiff of a particular scent. Perhaps it was the 64 pounds of marijuana this doofus was hauling.
One day later, Arie was requested again — this time in Cheyenne — and he detected the presence of two ounces of methamphetamine.
The lesson in all of this is: don’t transport drugs across Wyoming.
Arie’s not messing around.
Congratulations to Arie and his humans at the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office.
