Big Find on a Routine Stop!

What started as a routine traffic stop, quickly turned into something more when Officer Morales discovered 19.5 pounds of ma*****na hidden inside a vehicle.

The driver, who wasn’t from the area and appeared to just be passing through Conway, didn’t make it far before being charged with Possession of Ma*****na with Intent to Deliver (Felony C).

Great job, Officer Morales, for staying alert and helping keep illegal drugs out of our community!
