Garage mix-up leads to pot bust

COVINGTON, Ky., June 9 (UPI) -- Authorities in Kentucky said a garage mix-up led to two arrests and the seizure of 48 pounds of high-grade marijuana.

Covington police said Mike Finke stumbled onto the marijuana in April when he entered a garage he mistakenly believed to belong to the condo he had purchased for his son, The Kentucky Enquirer reported Wednesday.

Investigators said the marijuana, which was separated into bags weighing 1 pound each, was labeled with prices ranging from $2,500 to $4,000.

Police said the search of the garage and condo also resulted in the seizure of $41,022 and led them to a safety deposit box, where $107,890 was seized.

Benjamin Bingham and Nicholas Mann pleaded not guilty Monday to conspiracy to traffic in marijuana.
