A man was arrested after deputies say they found him driving under the influence while in possession of a gun, thousands of dollars in cash and marijuana.
Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) says just before 1 a.m. Friday, a deputy noticed a truck swerving as it traveled south down Highway 75.
The deputy pulled the truck over and the driver consented to a vehicle search.
“As the deputy was behind him crossing the line and sometimes that could just be someone nervous or messing with their phone, but when the deputy approached the window you see both a open container of alcohol, you smell marijuana emanating from the truck, so a lot of signs there to worry about the safety of this driver,” said TCSO Communications Director Casey Roebuck.
TCSO said the deputy found two open containers of beer, marijuana and over $9,000 in cash.

“You have large amounts of cash, over $9200, you have three vacuum sealed bags of marijuana stuffed into a trash bag in the vehicle and you have a gun located with the marijuana, so you know it doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to surmise that perhaps there was some illegal drug trafficking going on in connection with this arrest,” Roebuck said.
