What started as a simple traffic stop on Interstate 20 quickly turned into a major drug bust in Morgan County.
Deputies pulled over a driver from Fulton County for tailgating as part of their regular patrols. While speaking with the driver, things escalated when the man tried to destroyhis cellphone, sparking a small fire on the passenger-side floorboard, deputies said.
As deputies dealt with the fire, they said they noticed a THC vape in plain sight inside the car. That led to a search of the vehicle, where deputies found about 12 pounds of cocaine hidden in the trunk, the sheriff’s office said.
