Dog Sniffs Out $110,000 Inside SUV

Indiana State Police Make Discovery After Traffic Stop Near Chesterton

CHESTERTON, Ind. (CBS) ― An Indiana State Police dog sniffed out nearly $110,000 during a routine traffic stop on the Indiana Toll Road near Chesterton on Sunday.

Trooper Mike Jones stopped a Ford Explorer for following to close to other cars and unsafe lane changes. After Jones pulled over the vehicle, the occupants ''appeared very nervous and had conflicting statements as to where they were going,'' according to a state police news release.

The driver agreed to a search of the SUV, and the police dog, named Boss, nosed around and located a suitcase with $109,020 inside.

The three occupants of the vehicle denied ownership of the suitcase, which was confiscated by police. The driver was cited for traffic violations, and the investigation into the origins of the money is continuing.
