Nearly 120 pounds of illegally transported marijuana was confiscated Wednesday in Macomb County, Michigan, police report.
“Marijuana is legal in our state, but that doesn’t mean you can transport it however you want,” Shelby Township Police Chief Robert J. Shelide said in response to the case.
The investigation began Wednesday as Special Investigation Unit detectives from Shelby Township looked into reports of drugs being sold in residential neighborhoods, according to the police report.
This effort led to a traffic stop of a white Ford F-150 in the area of M-53 and Hall Road. The driver was detained.
A search of the vehicle resulted in almost 120 pounds of marijuana found.
Marijuana transported in vehicle in February 2025.

“At the time of the traffic stop, the marijuana was being illegally transported. The search of the vehicle also uncovered over $7,000 in cash that was directly related to the sale of the marijuana on the black market,” the police report said.
The driver, identified as Adrian Khoshnaw of Macomb Township, was arrested and taken to the police department. He was arraigned Thursday at 41-A District Court on a felony charge of controlled substance-delivery/manufacturing.

“I want to take a moment to recognize and congratulate our Special Investigation Unit for their outstanding dedication and hard work,” the police chief said in the report. “If you choose to illegally transport marijuana, understand that you are breaking the law. Our officers are trained to identify and intercept drug trafficking, and we will continue to enforce the law to keep Shelby Township safe.”
