A speeding ticket on Interstate 40 near Conway, Arkansas turned into a 56-pound fentanyl bust — hidden inside the fender wells of a rented Hyundai. This breakdown covers the stop, the story that didn't add up, the overdue third-party rental, the consent search, and the counterfeit M30 pills troopers pulled out of the panels.
On September 13, 2022, an Arkansas State trooper stopped a gray Hyundai Elantra for going 80 in a 75. What he noticed next — a week-overdue rental, no luggage, and a driver whose heartbeat was visible through his shirt — led to consent, a search, and 45+ bundles of fentanyl pills.
