Mike Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 A Utah man couldn't figure out why his gas gauge always showed his tank half full. Now police are involved, after it was discovered that the SUV's tank contained 35 pounds of marijuana. The man bought a 2009 Nissan Armada about a week ago, said Sandy police Sgt. Justin Chapman. Mystified by the tank, he took the car in for a warranty repair at Tim Dahle Nissan in Sandy on Monday. Workers removed the tank, and that's when they made a surprise discovery: the tank was half-full of tightly-wrapped packages of marijuana. It has a street value of about $35,000, Chapman said. The pot appeared to have been in the tank several months, because even though it was tightly wrapped, some gas had leaked through the packaging. Tracing the drugs back and making an arrest will be complicated, Chapman said, because the car was originally a rental. It was put up for auction, and had been sold repeatedly since then. The man is not a suspect, and neither is the dealership he bought it from, which was not the same place the car was repaired. Police are looking for clues on the wrapping, and investigating whether another state might have an open case on the pot. With the drugs removed, the car should now be in good working order, Chapman said. Copyright © 2009 Salt Lake City Tribune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 It has a hose hooked up to the exhaust pipe, and I like to turn the car on, put the hose in through the window, and sit in the garage. It's a real blast! I usually like to do it three or four times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
