The marijuana was found at a warehouse in Wyoming on Friday, following a tip.

Court documents show that the money includes about $85,000 from the home of one of six people charged in the case. Each is charged with marijuana conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute the drug. Prosecutors are seeking forfeiture of the cash.

Authorities said the marijuana was found in nearly 500 bales.
