YORK — An elderly couple arrested in Nebraska with 60 pounds of marijuana in their truck told officers that the drugs were meant to be Christmas presents.

The couple were arrested Tuesday by the York County Sheriff's Department after they were stopped for a traffic violation on Interstate 80.

Officers found the bags of marijuana in the Toyota Tacoma driven by an 80-year-old man. The couple said they were driving from California to Vermont.

The man was being held in York County jail on suspicion of felony drug charges. His 83-year-old wife was cited for a lesser charge.
