dopey coin geeks crash and dump their stash and dope all over the interstate.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- WFTV discovered a suitcase full of marijuana Thursday night after covering a crash scene on I-95.

Troopers said a car flipped several times on I-95 on Thursday and spilled rare coins all over the side of the interstate.

"It was a coin collector and a coin dealer inside the vehicle. So, they had approximately $800,000 to a $1 million worth of rare coins and dollar bills and stuff," said Trooper Darryl Haywood, of the Florida Highway Patrol.

WFTV noticed that after the scene was cleared by troopers, that there were still rare coins all over the ground. WFTV began picking them up to return them to the owners, when they came upon the suitcase. It was opened and that is when the marijuana was discovered.

WFTV called troopers back and watched as two men returned, who said they were family members of the crash victims, and tried to take the suitcase. Before the men could leave, troopers showed up and stopped them. They brought in a drug sniffing dog that confirmed the presence of marijuana.

“Florida Highway Patrol searched the red bag and found this white box filled with marijuana. They collected it as evidence and reported it as found property,” said Haywood.

Troopers said there was at least a quarter-pound of high-grade marijuana in the box.

So far, no one's been charged with a crime.

Troopers said they'll have to prove who the drugs belonged to before they can make an arrest.

you were my first thought, i was wondering if you were down there visiting your parents and snagging some garlic crabs.
