Old acquaintance of mine once got busted with almost that exact same amount on 44 near Rolla. Driving it from Phoenix to Chicago. Spent the night in jail, paid a big fine plus a lot to a lawyer, and ended up with a couple years probation. Having no serious priors probably didn't hurt. Like a dumb ass - which he definitely was - he fell for the old "Drug Checkpoint 1 Mile Ahead" trick.
