Authorities seized nearly $2 million in suspected drug money in Seward County on Wednesday.
Seward County Sheriff Mike Vance said in a news release he stopped a pickup truck on Interstate 80, and deployed Igor, his K-9.
A search of the vehicle turned up $1.9 million cash in duffel bags in the rear of the truck, Vance said.
The driver – identified as 42-year-old Michael Gaytan, of Toledo, Ohio (pictured below) – was arrested for felony transportation and possession of illegal currency used to facilitate the purchase of narcotics.
Agents from Homeland Security responded to the Seward County Sheriff’s Office to interview Gaytan.
Federal charges could soon be filed, Vance said.
