But things change a bit when you're driving around with a pocketful of cash and several bags of marijuana. That's how La Crosse police picked up Devan Kuehn this week-end in La Crosse. They say the Waukon, Iowa 21 year-old was driving around downtown with his lights off. Cop pulled Kuehn over and felt overwhelmed by the smell of marijuana coming out of the car. Found about three thousand dollars in cash and nearly four ounces of individually wrapped baggies of pot in a pasta box. Kuehn faces drug dealing charges.
