(Highland)--A California man is jailed in Madison County after being accused of possessing more that seventy pounds of marijuana found in a car he was driving. State Police arrested 27 year old Thomas Debakker, Jr. after he was pulled over Thursday for illegally speeding on Interstate 70.

State Police say a drug dog later alerted troopers to the scent of marijuana coming from the car. After a search, the drugs were found in three duffle bags in the truck. Debakker was charged with trafficking marijuana.
