Wyoming Cops Seize $138,000 From Oroville Woman

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. (AP) - The Wyoming Highway Patrol says officers seized over $138,000 in cash in a traffic stop on Interstate 80 east of Rock Springs.

The Highway Patrol announced that officers stopped a Chevy sedan at about 10 a.m. on Saturday for speeding.
