The Associated Press/AP Online Reports: "Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers found 610 pounds of marijuana hidden in caskets being hauled in a truck stopped near this eastern Oklahoma town.
The driver, Timothy G. Hynd, 26, and his passenger, Robert Dean Harper, told a trooper they were working for a Tucson, Ariz., casket company and their destination was Atlanta. They were pulled over early Friday for going 6 mph over the speed limit.
The marijuana was found after troopers were given permission to search the truck.
Hynd and Harper were charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and were freed on bond Monday. Both men said they had no idea there was marijuana in their cargo.
'Hynd is 26 and has never been in any kind of trouble,' said his attorney, Donn Baker. 'He was just delivering caskets for a living. He didn't check inside the caskets for drugs - would you?'"
