DAVIS COUNTY -- Some drug dealers found out Tuesday: you don't mess with Mojo.
Mojo is a drug-sniffing dog for the Davis County Sheriff's Office that helped find a bunch of marijuana during a traffic stop.
"After I secured Mojo in the car, we got the occupants out of the car, started talking to them, and of course subsequently searched the vehicle and found the illegal narcotics," explained Davis County sheriff's Deputy Seth Dereta.
They found 14 pounds of marijuana.
Another deputy had made a traffic stop on Interstate 15 in Layton and got suspicious, so he called in Dereta and Mojo.
"I like getting the drugs off the street," said Deputy Matt Boucher. "It doesn't only affect everyone that's around them, it affects the children; there were children present in the vehicle."
Both deputies agree there's no such thing as a routine traffic stop.
