SISKIYOU COUNTY, Calif. — Siskiyou County Sheriff's Deputy uncovers over 330 pounds of marijuana and 30 pounds of psychedelic mushrooms during a traffic stop on Wednesday.
SCSO says that 27-year-old Jaime Corona Barragan of Santa Rosa was the driver of a Sprinter Van when he got pulled over and his vehicle was searched near the Shasta Vista area.
