'You're taking money out of my kid's mouths': Marine sues after DEA confiscated his entire life savings of $87K during routine traffic stop after dogs 'smelled drugs' on the cash
2021-12-04
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Stephen Lara, 39, a Marine from Texas, sued the DEA to get back the $87,000 the agency seized from him in February

  • Lara had been traveling to meet his daughters in California when a Nevada State Trooper pulled him over as part of a routine traffic check

  • Lara told the officer he was traveling with his life savings because he does not trust banks and provided full ATM receipts to the prove the money was his

  • The officer called over a DEA agent who claimed a drug-sniffing dog found the scent of drugs on the cash, allowing them to seize all the money

  • Lara filed a suit against the DEA for the 'wrongful seizure' and is also suing to stop The Nevada Highway Patrol from sharing profits from seized property
