PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The Allegheny County Sheriffs Officers arrested a man following a traffic stop on Sunday revealed a pound of marijuana in the car and nearly $2,000 in cash.

Craig Nash, 31-years-old of Central Northside, was pulled over along the Liberty Bridge Sunday afternoon just after 2:00 p.m. due to reckless driving and expired inspection and emission stickers.
