The Officer observed the driver of the vehicle was not wearing a seat belt. Lt. Keen conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle near Spivey Street and Carthage Rd. (S.R. 56).       

After making contact with the occupants, RBS Officers observed several suspicious behaviors with the back passenger. After gaining consent to search the vehicle, Officers located a bag in the back seat containing what is believed to be approximately 28 grams of Methamphetamine. 

During the course of the investigation, the female driver voluntarily produced approximately 10 grams of marijuana from her person.
