Troopers arrest Anthony K. Stephen and Wilmot A. Kerr with 440 pounds of
marijuana at Interstate 70 platform scales
Two men are scheduled to appear in the Preble County Court today
after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers recovered $1.1 million
worth of marijuana at the Interstate 70 platform scale in Preble
County last Friday. Troopers said Anthony K. Stephen, 37, of
Jamaica, and Wilmot A. Kerr, 37, of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin
Islands, were each charged with possession of marijuana, a
second-degree felony.
Troopers said at 11:20 a.m. Friday, the 2000 Volvo tractor towing a
box trailer being driven by Stephen was determined to be overweight
at the Interstate 70 platform scale in Preble County. Due to the
vehicle which was hauling produce being overweight, troopers had
Stephen pull around to the back of the scales. While speaking with
the vehicle occupants several criminal indicators were present. A
drug detecting canine was summoned to the scene and alerted to
the cab of the vehicle. During a search, troopers found 14 boxes of
marijuana, weighing approximately 440 pounds, in the top bunk of
the sleeper area.
Both suspects were incarcerated at the Preble County Jail.
