LINCOLN, Ill. — A cracked windshield resulted in the discovery by Illinois State Police of 88 pounds of cocaine. According to state police Captain James Wolf, a truck driven by 51-year-old Jose Luis Hernandez Nunez of Greenfield, Mo. was stopped Friday near Lincoln. Wolf said Monday that Nunez was heading north on Interstate 55 in a semi-tractor-trailer when the cracked windshield was noticed, and a trooper initiated a traffic stop. Wolf said Nunez race was not a factor in the traffic stop. However, the trooper’s curiosity was aroused by the fact Nunez was pulling an empty flatbed. A police dog sniffed out the drugs near where the trailer hitches to the truck cab. Nunez is scheduled to appear Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Springfield. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
