MCPHERSON, Kan. (AP) — The McPherson County Sheriff's Department says a traffic stop led to the seizure of about 7 pounds of methamphetamine. Sheriff Larry Powell says in a news release that the drugs were found after a vehicle was stopped Monday on Interstate 135 near Moundridge. Deputies found drug paraphernalia in the pickup and impounded the vehicle. The methamphetamine was then found in the truck. Powell estimated the value of the drugs at $1.75 million. One person was arrested for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.
