HIGH POINT, N.C. — More than 400 pounds of marijuana was seized from a U-Haul trailer in High Point on Monday.

Anthony Dickison, 38, is charged with trafficking marijuana and maintaining a vehicle for use, storage or sale of controlled substances, according to a news release from High Point police.

At 9:50 a.m. Monday, High Point police stopped an SUV towing a U-Haul trailer on Interstate 85 near mile marker 110 for a moving violation.

The officer obtained probable cause to let a K-9 sniff around the exterior of the vehicle and trailer, the release said.

The K-9 alerted the officer to the presence of drugs in the trailer. A search resulted in the seizure of 417 pounds of marijuana.

Dickison was taken into custody and placed in the Guilford County Jail under $1 million bond.

I have extensive experience working public policy work with both active duty drug police and retired narcos.

 

The true "success" rate for even most highly trained K-9s is at best 30%

 

The television program watched by little ck had to conduct at least a half dozen illegal searches (based on false positives from the dog) in order to find one succeszful hit which is then added to the program

 

Lower educated viewers then conclude "Wow these drug dogs are awesome!! How does anyone get drugs anywhere without getting caght by these Super Dogs?!?!"

 

Meanwhile, my delivery guys loaded with 100 lbs or more are cruising right past the traffic stop with Zero drugs found. They often enjoy cranking up the Benny Hill chase music as they videotape the empty handed cops whose agencies will soon be facing expensive civil suits re the illegal search

They are trained to smell certain drugs. I'm not sure what is amazing.

 

Now if you posted the below, and said that is amazing, I'd concur.

 

Celestine Tate Harrington, a deformed entertainer who wowed Atlantic City Boardwalk tourists for years playing an electric organ with her tongue, died from injuries suffered in a traffic accident almost a week ago. She was 42.

 

Harrington, who lived, performed and traveled face down on a motorized hospital-style gurney, was injured Feb. 19 while riding down the middle of a city street when a car slammed into the gurney and knocked it into another vehicle, throwing her.

 

 

 

 

She died about 6:20 p.m. Wednesday at Atlantic City Medical Center, according to spokeswoman Anna Bauer. The cause was not given.

 

A Philadelphia native, Harrington was born with stunted, useless arms and legs after her teenage mother tried unsuccessfully to abort her with a coat hanger.

 

The 4-foot-10 inch, 191-pound woman had elbows and knees, but her hands and feet did not have fully formed digits and she couldn't use them to grip. What she did have was an angelic voice and sweet disposition that belied the cruel hand she was dealt.

 

In 1976, she won the right to raise her own daughter when she demonstrated in court how she could change a diaper -- using only her mouth. She had two daughters of her own and two adopted ones, all of whom are now adults. She credited relatives and friends with helping raise them.

 

In 1984, she began working the Boardwalk, using a bucket to collect donations from those who stopped to watch her play "Amazing Grace," "Born Free" and "Stormy Weather" on her battery-operated keyboard. In 1996, she published a book -- she typed the manuscript using her tongue -- and it was published under the title "Some Crawl and Never Walk."
