200 Pounds Of High-Potency Pot Discovered During Drug Bust

MACOMB COUNTY, MI — Sterling Heights police made a major drug bust, seizing 200 pounds of high-potency marijuana, The Detroit News reports.

The bust happened on Nov. 30 when Sterling Heights police pulled over a car in the area of 14 Mile and Van Dyke. Police discovered 200 pounds of high-potency marijuana and the three male suspects in the vehicle. Additional marijuana was found via searches at other locations, which sparked the arrest of a fourth male suspect.

The potency level of marijuana boils down to how much of the psychoactive substance tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, it contains. The higher the potency, the stronger the effect.

One suspect reportedly lives in Michigan, 28-year-old Saad Eddie Matti of Warren. The other suspects hail from California: 25-year-old Delan A. Hanna, 23-year-old Ishac Zayad Zaya, and 36-year-old Michael Anthony Santos. The suspects were arraigned on charges of possession with intent to distribute. They are currently in Macomb County Jail until their cases are resolved or they post $100,000 bond, according to The Detroit News.
