Van Bought From Sheriff's Auction Contains Pot Stash
350 Pounds Originally Found In Vehicle

POSTED: 10:13 am MDT August 8, 2005

EL PASO, Texas -- The used minivan came with an unexpected option -- about 100 pounds of pot.

A man recently bought the 1997 Plymouth Voyager from the El Paso County, Texas, Sheriff's Office.

A mechanic who checked under the minivan found the stash of weed.

Sheriff's officials say the buyer immediately returned the vehicle.

The minivan was seized by authorities when about 350 pounds of marijuana was found inside. Officials are trying to determine how deputies missed the rest of the weed.

The sheriff's department promises to return the van, minus the pot, to its new owner.

Silly cops

You know, thats always been one of my
nightmare situations.
I win an auction for a  truck or vintage sportscar
and guess what...
I'll buy one the old fashioned way.
