One of the most popular stories on the Sedalia Democrat website is the story about the report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol about a major inadvertent drug bust.
The interstate was 70, the mile marker was around 67, the state was Missouri and the drug was marijuana. The vehicle was a totally not conspicuous white 2012 Chevy Cruze.
