It really seems like the ASP makes a big drug bust like this every week. They are watching the roads and making sure that if these drugs come into the state, they won't leave the state; they will be confiscated. They are sending a message loud and clear that Arkansas doesn't play nice with drug traffickers.

According to a press release, this drug bust took place around 6:30 PM on Saturday, April 4, 2026, when an Arkansas State Police (ASP) Trooper conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle traveling along Interstate 40 near the 2-mile marker in Crawford County.
