PASCO, Wash. — Troopers with the Washington State Patrol say Department of Ecology crews recently found bags of marijuana on the side of a highway in Pasco.
Officials said the Ecology clean up crews found the marijuana on the shoulder of I-182.
Trooper C. Thorson posted a picture of the marijuana on Twitter and wrote, in part, “Our troopers would be interested in talking to you … PS, your Tapatio Doritos bag is empty!”
