An Oklahoma man is in custody after Arizona authorities say they found methamphetamine and nearly $60,000 in cash in his vehicle.

Yavapai County Sheriff's officials said Monday that 23-year-old Victor Robertson was pulled over for moving violations on Interstate 17 south of Cordes Junction. They say Robertson appeared confused and his behavior was consistent with someone under the influence of drugs.

Under the front seat, authorities found a light bulb modified for use as a methamphetamine pipe and a container with a gram of meth. Deputies also discovered about $59,900 in three bundles hidden in the car's right front fender and passenger door.

Robertson was held on a $100,000 bond at the Camp Verde Detention Center on suspicion of possession of dangerous drugs, money laundering and DUI.

    23 years old, and he had 59k in cash on him. This man was an American Entrepreneurial Success story. Right up until he got busted. And, I'll bet he didn't even go to College. And, when he gets a light sentence, and is BACK out on the streets, he most likely will take back up where he left off. Crime Pays. Ask the MOB, Politicians, and Cartel Bosses.

    If he had OD'd he would have had flags flying at half staff in two states.

    A man with money and not a politician or government employee must be guilty of something. Of course now law enforcement gets to keep the money and the car for their very own. Why would law men ever want to win the war on drugs with such windfall happening all the time. One for you one for us. wink wink. Just keep one of those little pipes and a little meth up your sleeve and they have a gold mind. If you blink and they shoot you they still are allowed to keep the plunder. Taco justice.
