Connecticut State Police arrested a man in Trumbull early Monday morning after officers pulled over the car he was in and found eight pounds of marijuana, according to state police.
Police investigated when a white 2014 Volkswagen Passat that was stopped on Route 8 around 12:15 a.m. didn't move over a lane and almost hit the State Police cruiser, according to police.
Officers searched the car and the passenger, Jonathan Ven, 21, of Naugatuck, admitted to having a small amount of marijuana, which he gave to the officer, according to state police.
However, when troopers searched the car, they found eight pounds of marijuana. Ven admitted that the marijuana was his and said it was mailed to him so he could sell it, according to state police.
Ven was charged with possession of a kilogram or more of marijuana, with intent to sell and possession of a controlled substance.
Bond was set at $100,000.
