A California man is scheduled to appear in the Shelby County Court
today after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers recovered 75
pounds of marijuana and over one-half kilogram of cocaine on
Interstate 75 northbound near milepost 97 on Wednesday. Troopers
said Timothy Cahill, 49, was charged with possession of marijuana,
a second-degree felony, and possession of cocaine, a first-degree
felony.

Troopers said at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Cahill was stopped in his
1999 Chevrolet Blazer for a following too close violation. A
drug-detecting canine was on scene and alerted to the vehicle. A
probable cause search revealed five packaged bricks of marijuana
weighing approximately 75 pounds, and 546 grams of cocaine. The
total street value of the drugs is over $224,000.

Cahill was incarcerated at the Shelby County Jail. If convicted of the
second-degree felony, he could face up to eight years in prison, and
a maximum $15,000 fine. If convicted of the first-degree felony, he
could face up to 10 years in prison, and up to a $20,000 fine.
