PHOENIX (AP) - Three Army soldiers in a rental car pulled over for speeding outside Phoenix have been arrested after authorities say they found 680 pounds of marijuana and $10,000 cash inside the vehicle.
Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies made the arrest Tuesday night during part of the department's two-day crime sweep in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Deputies say Dwayne Campbell, Llewellyn Stamoulis and Romaine May all were dressed in military uniform and carried valid military ID when deputies pulled over the vehicle on Interstate 17 near Anthem.
They say all three men were arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession, drug transportation, money laundering and conspiracy.
Stamoulis also was booked on a count of driving with a suspended license.
The ages and hometowns of the soldiers were not immediately available Wednesday.
