Rollover leads to large drug bust

TUCUMCARI, N.M. (KRQE) - A man stashing a cash crop rolled his car Saturday and now he's got bigger troubles than a wrecked car.

New Mexico State Police patrolling Interstate 40 near Tucumcari Saturday morning responded to an accident call.

Henry Alan, 40, of El Paso lost control of his sedan and crashed into a snow pile along the interstate.

Officers noticed tracks leading back and forth from the trunk of the rolled car.

They discovered 238 pound of marijuana in large plastic-wrapped bundles. The street value of the pot is around $643,000.

Lowe was treated for a gash to the head. Then police arrested him and booked him into the Quay County Detention Center.
