(video) — Nearly $20,000 was seized by authorities over the 2020 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, along with seven vehicles, according to a release from the South Dakota Department of Public Safety.
Authorities seized $18,763 over the seven-day rally, mostly due to drug arrests made during traffic stops, said SDDOP spokesman Tony Mangan. That’s over four times as much money seized during last year’s rally.
A few “significant” arrests contributed to this year’s large seizure amount, Mangan said.
