Authorities say a Dubuque man was arrested after he had another person drive more than 140 pounds of marijuana from Colorado to Dubuque. That person said he performed similar deliveries in the past. 26 year old Mitchell Arthofer was arrested Friday on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and failure to affix a drug stamp. He has a hearing in Iowa District Court of Dubuque County scheduled for Thursday. Reports say that law enforcement officers pulled over a vehicle Friday and found five duffel bags of marijuana inside. The person, whose name was not included in court documents, told law enforcement that the marijuana had been picked up in Colorado at the direction of Arthofer and that the person previously made two trips to Colorado on Arthofer’s behalf to transport large amounts of marijuana across multiple states.
