A MAJOR DRUG BUST ON I-TWENTY STOPS A SHIPMENT BOUND FOR AUGUSTA.
22-YEAR OLD DAVID ANGEL MONTES SAMUDIO WAS ARRESTED EARLY THIS MORNING NEAR CRAWFORDVILLE, ABOUT SEVENTY MILES WEST OF AUGUSTA.
HE WAS PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING BY A TALIAFERRO COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICER, WHO THEN DISCOVERED THAT SAMUDIO'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED.
OFFICERS THEN SEIZED FIFTY-TWO POUNDS OF MARIJUANA AND THREE KILOS OF COCAINE FROM SAMUDIO'S CAR.
THOSE DRUGS WOULD BE WORTH HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IF SOLD.
SAMUDIO IS BEING HELD IN TALIAFERRO COUNTY JAIL ON ONE MILLION DOLLARS BOND.
