The Minnesota State Patrol alleges two separate callers reported a white Jeep heading southbound on I-35 was speeding, crossing over lane lines and almost crashing into other vehicles. Police said troopers saw the vehicle drive by with an inoperable driver’s side headlight and an active rear wiper despite it not raining.

Police said Salcedo had an open and partially consumed cannabis edible chocolate bar, a clear plastic bag with marijuana
