NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) — A California woman accused of having marijuana for sale has been fined in western Nebraska.

Lincoln County District Court records say a judge told 51-year-old Jewel Estrada on Monday to pay fines of $5,000 and $5,000 restitution to Nebraska. Station NTV reports that Estrada took a deal and pleaded guilty to possessing more than a pound of marijuana and to not having a tax stamp. The pot charge was lowered from possession for sale.

The Nebraska State Patrol says a trooper made a traffic stop of the woman's car on Dec. 17 just after she left Interstate 80 in North Platte. The trooper discovered the driver, Estrada, was wanted on a 2010 traffic citation for speeding in eastern Nebraska. She lives in North San Juan, California.

The patrol says troopers found around 59 pounds (27 kilograms) of pot in her car.

[Thread article] The Nebraska State Patrol says a trooper made a traffic stop of the woman's car on Dec. 17 just after she left Interstate 80 in North Platte. The trooper discovered the driver, Estrada, was wanted on a 2010 traffic citation for speeding in eastern Nebraska. She lives in North San Juan, California.

[Gatlin - poster comment] No record found that she is related to a cop.

There is another possible explanation of why the case was disposed of as it was.

Missing from the article is any description of the trooper's cause or justification for the traffic stop. Running the plate, and discovering the outstanding 2010 citation after the stop, would not justify the stop.

A very possible reason she was transporting 59 pounds of pot was that she was muling it from California to Nebraska to profit from a higher street price. The trooper may have observed the driver, the plate and the vehicle and correctly surmised what was going on, leading him to make the stop.

While there may have been a legal problem with the stop, once the marijuana was found, it was seized and she was not getting it back. If they took the marijuana as contraband, she could have been facing civil asset forfeiture to take her vehicle as well. No charge or conviction would be required to confiscate the vehicle.

Assuming a legal problem with the stop, she still does not want to hang around in Nebraska and take her chances fighting over the stop, and the state would rather not present the case.

The pot was gone in any case. She pays the fine and restitution and gets out of Dodge, with her vehicle. The state avoids any embarrassment. The result is amenable to both sides, even if neither is overjoyed.
