Police Seize Nearly $400K in Marijuana, Hash Oil During Traffic Stop

Rhode Island State Police say they confiscated more than $400,000 worth of marijuana and hash oil during a traffic stop.

Troopers say they found the drugs in a minivan they pulled over for speeding on Interstate 95 in Warwick at about 3 p.m. Friday.

The driver was identified driver as 29-year-old Jiacheng Liu, of San Francisco. He was arrested on four counts of drug-related charges. It was unclear if he has obtained an attorney.

Police say they confiscated nearly 185 pounds of marijuana worth $368,000 in four large duffel bags. They also seized more than 800 vials of hash oil.

Liu is scheduled to be arraigned in Third Division District Court on Monday.
