Bus passenger arrested with marijuana in luggage
BILLINGS, Mont. – A bus passenger was arrested in Billings after Jefferson Lines employees called police to report his luggage smelled like marijuana.
The Billings Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/1YdbCym) 19-year-old Kaine Hanson made an initial appearance in Yellowstone County Justice Court on Monday for felony criminal possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. He also is charged with misdemeanour obstruction for giving officers a false name. He did not enter a plea.
Justice of the Peace Pedro Hernandez released Hanson without bond, but he will be on GPS monitoring and cannot leave the state.
A police dog located Hanson’s bags on the bus and officers found 31 vacuum-sealed bags of marijuana in his suitcase and backpack.
Hanson’s arraignment is scheduled for June 13 in District Court.
