During a traffic stop in December of 2013, Kansas City police officers made an unusual discovery: a safe in a vehicle driven by Ronald D. Boyd was full of $100 bills totaling $70,000. While Boyd claimed he had the large sum of cash on him because he was a real estate investor, investigators found, upon looking into Boyd's finances, that it had been six years since Boyd had been employed. He had not reported any income during that time. This traffic stop began a federal investigation into a multistate marijuana ring that involved shipments of pot from California to Kansas City. Boyd, along with six others, have now been charged with federal drug trafficking.
