State officials say troopers called to a farm in northeastern Nebraska found not only a couple of suspected trespassers, but more than 20 pounds of drugs buried in a field. The Nebraska State Patrol says troopers responded Wednesday to reports of two people going through a property near Winside. Troopers stopped a pair from Los Angeles and said they found some suspected methamphetamine, a gun and a cattle prod that had been stolen from another farm. Investigators then gleaned that drugs had been buried in a nearby field. The patrol says it dug up a bag containing 20 pounds of meth and 3 grams of fentanyl — enough to kill more than 1,000 people. The pair were arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking and other counts.
