COLUMBUS, Ohio — A Columbus man is facing a felony drug charge after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers seized about $158,000 worth of drugs from his vehicle.

Daniel Woodard, 23, was pulled over by troopers on Sept. 4 around 12:49 for a speed violation on State Route 15.

During the stop, troopers detected an odor of burnt marijuana coming from the vehicle which prompted a probable cause search. 

As a result of the search, 1,300 dose units of ecstasy pills and 120 bottles of promethazine cough syrup were found.

Woodard was taken to the Wyandot Count Jail and has been charged with possession of drugs, a second-degree felony. 

If convicted, he could face up to eight years in prison and up to a $15,000 fine.
