A routine Alameda traffic stop over registration tags expired for 11 years ended with police seizing roughly 40 pounds of marijuana concentrate, methamphetamine, pills and equipment allegedly tied to drug manufacturing.
Alameda police stopped the vehicle on Sunday after noticing the decade-old tags, according to KRON4's report. Officers determined the driver was on probation and searched the vehicle, finding a haul that went well beyond an overdue trip to the DMV.
Police Report Meth, Pills And Manufacturing Equipment
The seized material reportedly included approximately 30 grams of methamphetamine, various pills, tubing, propane tanks and buckets containing unknown substances. Alameda police also reported finding items they described as related to drug manufacturing, though the department did not release the driver's name.
The largest part of the seizure was about 40 pounds of marijuana concentrate, commonly called “budder” or “honey oil.” The federal Drug Enforcement Administration's Just Think Twice resource describes concentrates as highly potent THC products that can resemble honey or butter and may contain THC levels far higher than ordinary cannabis flower.
The Driver's Identity And Charges Remain Unclear
Police praised the officer's vigilance in making the stop, but the public details remain limited. As of KRON4's coverage, Alameda police had not identified the driver or provided a full breakdown of any charges stemming from the search.
