Traffic stop leads to discovery of suspected cocaine, fentanyl, and drug paraphernalia on Baltimore Boulevard.
WESTMINSTER, MD (JK) — Two Baltimore County men are facing multiple charges after a traffic stop in Westminster on Wednesday, January 14th, uncovered a substantial amount of suspected narcotics.
Officers with the Pro-Active Community Enforcement (PACE) Team stopped a Kia Sedona in the 1400 block of Baltimore Boulevard for a tint violation and failure to obey a traffic control device. A K9 scan indicated the presence of controlled dangerous substances, prompting a search of the vehicle and its occupants.
Authorities recovered more than 44 grams of suspected cocaine and fentanyl, six cell phones, a digital scale, packaging materials, and nearly $1,000 in cash.
The driver, 28-year-old Tremaine Gordon Eugene Bishop, and the passenger, 24-year-old Robert Lee Johnson 3rd, were both arrested and charged with seven offenses related to possession and distribution of controlled substances. Both remain held without bail at the Carroll County Detention Center.
Police said the investigation is ongoing, and no further details have been released at this time.
