A 58-year-old Grove man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly transporting 15 pounds of marijuana on Interstate 35 after Lux -- a certified drug dog with the Norman Police Department -- alerted to the man's vehicle.
Gary Bob Harris was charged Thursday in Cleveland County District Court with unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute and failure to display a tax stamp on a controlled dangerous substance.
According to court records, Norman Detective Darin Morgan reportedly spotted Harris driving northbound on I-35 and estimated he was driving "63 to 65 in the posted 60 mile per hour" zone. Morgan said he placed Harris in his vehicle while issuing a warning and "noticed the odor of marijuana coming from his person."
Morgan said he ran Lux, his certified K-9, around the vehicle and Lux "alerted on both doors."
A probable cause search revealed 15 pounds of marijuana in a duffle bag in the trunk, Morgan said. A small bag of marijuana and two Xanax were found in the defendant's pocket, he said.
Other felonies filed Thursday include:
Gerardo Marquez-Arambula, 22, Norman, driving without a state's driver's license;
Patrick Allen Robinson, 21, Norman, unlawful possession of a controlled drug within 1,000 feet of a school;
Garfield Mordecai Bowen Jr., 21, Oklahoma City, unlawful possession of a controlled drug within 1,000 feet of a school;
Gary Don Henderson, 54, Norman, assault with a dangerous weapon; malicious injury to property.
