A routine traffic stop by the Delta police department resulted in a large drug seizure Wednesday morning.
A traffic enforcement officer stopped a vehicle around 10:25 a.m. on Nov. 15 to check for a valid driver’s license. Delta police public affairs coordinator Sharlene Brooks said these stops are not uncommon, as there are some drivers who drive without a license or are prohibited from driving.
During the stop, the officer found a large quantity of drugs, with a street value of over $5,000. The officer arrested the driver and seized the drugs.
The investigation is ongoing, and the driver faces potential charges of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking.
