(COUNCIL BLUFFS) A Colorado man was arrested on drug charges following a traffic stop on Interstate 80 in Pottawattamie County Wednesday.

Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker said at around 3:30 p.m. Deputy Miller stopped a 2003 Chevy pickup for excessive speed around the 7 mile marker. Danker said the driver, 63-year-old Mark Domreis, of Aurora, Colorado, indicated that there were drugs in the bed of his truck while he was speaking with Deputy Miller. Deputy Miller then deployed his service dog Francisco to do a free-air sniff around the vehicle.

“The dog did alert to the presence of narcotics on the vehicle and Deputy Miller conducted a search and located several duffel bags and coolers that contained numerous vacuum sealed packages of marijuana in the bed of the pickup,” said Danker. “Approximately 128 pounds of hydroponic marijuana and about ½ pound of amphetamines.”

Danker said Domreis was arrested for Possession with Intent to Deliver Marijuana, Possession with Intent to Deliver Amphetamines, Tax Stamp Violation, and Prohibited Acts. He was transported to the Pottawattamie County Jail.

(Griswold) Griswold hopes of defending their state championship got a huge boost from a pair of runners that were not on last year's championship team. Two freshman went 1-2 for the Tigers in the 3,000 Meter run on Thursday. Rebekah Topham crossed the finish line in 10:33.66 to claim her first of what many expect to be several gold medals in her career.

Twenty-three seconds later, fellow freshman Alyx Flippen who is often overshadowed by Topham's impressive resume, earned a silver medal for the Tigers when she finished in 10:56.67.

The dynamic freshman duo will try to repeat the feat when they each run in the 1,500 later this week. Topham will also run in the 800 and the 400M Low Hurdles.
