Pot Found in Idaho Man’s “Cat in the Hat” Lunchbox

BOISE, Idaho (KTVB) -- Ada County sheriff's deputies arrested a 19-year-old Boise man late Monday night after finding almost 6 ounces of marijuana in his car, hidden in a "Cat In The Hat" lunchbox.

Bronson T. Hobbing is charged with a felony count possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Hobbing is set for preliminary hearing on Dec. 23 and is being held in the Ada County Jail on a $50,000 bond. A deputy pulled Hobbing's car over near the Overland and Maple Grove roads intersection around 9:20 p.m. Monday for a burnt-out headlight. The car's registration was also expired.

It was during that stop when the deputy detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from the car. A short time later a sheriff's K-9 detected the odor of marijuana coming form the trunk. That's where the deputies found a lunchbox containing six bags of marijuana inside.
