KILLER WEED

Talk about your killer weed.

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?"
