Jamestown (CSi)  The Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office says a 48 year old man from California has been arrested, after allegedly possessing more than $100,000 worth of marijuana.

Deputy Matt Thom says Samuel Hanna, of  Eureka, California  was first seen Tuesday on I-94, and a traffic stop was made when Hanna left the interstate and pulled in the Superpumper gas station-store, on Highway 281 South in Jamestown.

Thom’s report says Hanna denied a request to search his vehicle and that Thom could smell marijuana.

The  K9 unit confirmed its presence.   A search of the vehicle yielded 16 and a half pounds of marijuana, along with drug paraphernalia and a large knife.

Hanna was arrested on suspicion of delivery of a controlled substance, marijuana, manufacture of a controlled substance, marijuana, possession of a controlled substance, marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia used for marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia used with methamphetamines, carrying a concealed weapon and making a false statement to a law enforcement officer.

Hanna is in custody at the Stutsman County Correctional Center.

His initial appearance in Southeast District Court has not yet been scheduled.

Hanna may be facing additional charges, under review with the Stutsman County State’s Attorney’s Office.
