(8:16 a.m.) Pot Seizure

OLIVE BRANCH, Miss. (AP) — Drug Enforcement Agents have seized 1,500 pounds of marijuana concealed in an 18-wheeler in an Olive Branch neighborhood.

Keith Brown, resident agent-in-charge at the Memphis DEA office, tells The Commercial Appeal that authorities charge three suspects in case. Their names have not been released. He says authorities are seeking a fourth suspect.

Brown says the tractor trailer rig was seized Thursday as it pulled into a lot along Mississippi Highway 178.

Brown says agents has had the suspects under surveillance, but he would not how long.

Brown says the marijuana came from Texas. At least some of the suspects, he says, are Texas residents.
