During the conversation with the two occupants, the trooper observed criminal indicators and a subsequent investigation led to a search of the vehicle.  During that search, the trooper discovered 134 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and 90 pounds of fentanyl concealed in the cargo area. The drugs originated from Memphis, Tennessee, and were destined for Indianapolis, Indiana.  The estimated value of the narcotics is two million dollars.
