A 33-year-old Philadelphia man was arrested for having a large amount of suspected marijuana in his vehicle in Bristol Township.
Last Wednesday around 7:30 p.m., a Pennsylvania State Police trooper pulled over a Dodge minivan on southbound I-95 in Bristol Township for speeding, according to court papers.

Dong Sheng Lin was found to be the sole occupant of the rented minivan and refused the trooper’s request to search the vehicle after “several observations” that made the lawman suspicious, state police said.
A state police K-9 unit responded to the scene and the trained dog sniffed the exterior of the vehicle. The dog altered to the odor of possible narcotics, state police said.
Troopers said they searched the minivan and found five large cardboard boxes. The boxes contained 135, one-pound vacuum sealed packages of suspected marijuana.
