Lousiana Men Busted with Pounds of Pot

HARRISON COUNTY — After several days of investigation, officials released information surrounding the arrest of two Louisiana men found pounds of marijuana. The Harrison County K9 unit was called to Interstate 20 around 9:00 Saturday morning after DPS troopers said the occupants, 21-year-old Cory Robinson and 23-year-old Orlando Gipson, refused a search of their vehicle after a routine traffic stop. Officials say the K9 alerted on the vehicle and deputies found 27 pounds of pot hidden in the vehicle in clear trash bags. One of the suspects reportedly told authorities they were transporting the marijuana from Florida to California when they were stopped. Both men were released from jail on $10,000 bond after being charged with having between 5 and 50 pounds of marijuana.
