One of our county sheriffs spotted a suspected trafficker and initiated a traffic stop. Confident that we would never find the drugs, the suspect provided consent to search his vehicle.
The K-9 unit focused in on a flat panel TV that had been nicely surfaced mounted into the dash. As it turned out, pushing the cigarette lighter in caused the whole flat panel TV assembly to lower out and away from the dash, revealing the storage compartment. Inside was a large amount of powder cocaine, a quantity of crack, over 700 pills of ecstasy, and a .45 automatic.
Did I mention that the trafficker was from another state? We thank him for visiting Georgia and for the $45K SUV. Now we can watch “COPS” while on the road.
Great job by the Sheriffs Dept!
