A man who was stopped for speeding was arrested after three gallons of the "date-rape drug" GHB were found in his car, enough for 20,000 doses, authorities said.

Daniel Gertz, 37, of Los Angeles, was taken into custody on multiple felony charges including possession and transportation of a narcotic for sale, according to the California Highway Patrol.

GHB, which stands for gamma-hydroxybutyrate, creates a euphoric, drunken feeling in low doses and can knock people out in higher amounts.

Authorities said Gertz was transporting the drug to a party in San Francisco when he was stopped Wednesday for driving 88 mph in a 65 mph zone on Highway 101 near Geyserville, the CHP said.

So where do you think he was coming from, Hopland or Cloverdale?

Maybe Ukiah?

Somewhere in Mendocino county, I'm sure of it! LOL!

Since when does exceeding the speed limit create 'probable cause' to search a vehicle?

I agree about the wind. I came from a LOT smaller town than NYC, but Minot was still “more of a sentence than an assignment.”

I was glad to get out and will never go back. I don’t care how old, nostalgic, or senile I get.
