Heber police arrest man with 149 pounds of pot in the back of his car

Medical cannabis is now legal in the state of Utah, but transporting 149 pounds of marijuana in the back of your vehicle is still against the law — as Heber City Police were quick to point out after a traffic stop.

Sean Daniel Herbert, 51, was booked into the Wasatch County Jail for investigation of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, a second-degree felony, and possession of drug paraphernalia, a class-B misdemeanor.

According to a probable cause statement, police stopped the car at 550 E. 600 South in Heber at 4:35 p.
