WHEELING — A traffic stop over the weekend led to the arrest of a Chicago man after Wheeling Police allegedly found 103 pounds of marijuana in his car.

Paul Okowinski, 45, of Chicago was arrested on charges of possession with intent to deliver and transporting a controlled substance into the state. He was taken to the Northern Regional Jail, where he was later arraigned by an Ohio County magistrate.

According to WPD, officers were patrolling Interstate 70 East, when they pulled over an SUV driving at 69 miles an hour in a 55-mile-an-hour zone near the weigh station. When a WPD officer approached the vehicle, they could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from it.

The officer then searched the vehicle and discovered 103 pounds of marijuana inside and drug using materials. Wheeling Police spokesman Philip Stahl said the street value of that seizure was estimated to be around $154,000.
