ELKO — The Nevada Highway Patrol recovered 12 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop Wednesday on Interstate 80 near Elko.

NHP trooper Jim Stewart said a trooper stopped a vehicle and suspected criminal activity during his contact with the driver, Denver Scott Wayne, 28, and passenger Daniel Ray Vialpando, 28, both of Montrose, Colo.

The trooper called for a highway patrol K-9 to do a sniff around the vehicle, and the dog alerted to the presence of narcotics. A search of the vehicle’s trunk yielded 12 pounds of marijuana in a cardboard box.
