Two men were arrested and 40 lbs of marijuana seized after a traffic stop at the Giltner Exit on Interstate 80.
Around 11:18 a.m., Saturday, November 3, a trooper stopped an eastbound 2004 GMC Envoy for failure to signal at the Giltner Interchange on I-80.

The driver of the vehicle, Jose Manuel Figueroa, 24, Selma, Calif., and a passenger in the vehicle, Martinez Cruz Garcia, 20, a Mexican national, were both lodged in the Hamilton County Jail.
