A traffic stop about 5:30 p.m. last Thursday was anything but routine for Hattiesburg Police officers when two pounds of marijuana was found inside a pillow case in the vehicle.

The vehicle was searched during a traffic stop at the North 38th Avenue and Pearl Street intersection. K-9 VooDoo found the pillow case full of pot during the search.
