Man, 72, Arrested With $1.4 Million Pot Stash

DO YOU WEIGH less than 150 pounds? If so, you wouldn't tip the scales against Rodell Alton Cole's pot haul.

The 72-year-old Manhattanite was arrested in New Carrollton for transporting 156.2 pounds of marijuana to be exact, WTOP's Michelle Basch reported today. Police told WTOP that much pot has a street value of $1.4 million.

The bust came after Cole allegedly bumped another car in a convenience store parking lot. Police were apparently called, and after they discovered Cole was driving on a suspended license, they told him to empty his car, Basch reported. That's when they laid eyes on the drugs.
