PARK CITY — Two men were arrested Thursday after $25,000 worth of marijuana was discovered in their vehicle, police said.

Investigators participating in a joint drug interdiction stopped the vehicle while it was heading east on I-80, about one mile east of the I-84 interchange, at 11:34 a.m., according to the Park City Police Department.

"During the course of the traffic stop and subsequent investigation, a police service dog from the Summit County Sheriff's Office gave a positive indication on the vehicle," a statement from the Park City Police Department reads.
