POTTED MULES NABBED WITH TON OF POT

Weaving between lanes? And they say that pot is less harmful than alcohol.
 
WEAVING DIDN’T HELP POT SUSPECTS

COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA – Perhaps the two men who got caught this week hauling 2,608 pounds of marijuana down Interstate 77 were not the sharpest criminals operating in Richland County, S.C.
 
The men, who are brothers, had overloaded their trailer so that it was weaving between lanes, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said.
 
That got Deputy Thomas McLamb’s attention. "It obviously was a road hazard," McLamb said.
 
On top of that, the brothers allegedly had smoked marijuana while driving. "That didn’t help," Lott said of their driving skills.
 
Now Hector Humberto Solorio, 28, and Heriberto Belmonte Solorio, 39, are in jail for what Lott described as one of the largest marijuana busts in the county’s history.
