The senior trooper allegedly found approximately 10 pounds of suspected methamphetamine, three pounds of suspected heroin, and 1.4 pounds of suspected counterfeit pills containing fentanyl. All of it was concealed in the vehicle, OSP said.

The driver, a 30-year-old Wapato, Wash., man, was taken to the Klamath County Jail.
