A Thurston County Sheriff’s Office sergeant seized 1,149 grams of meth, 177 grams of fentanyl powder and 35 grams of cocaine during a traffic stop on Tuesday, Feb. 17.
The driver was reportedly speeding and driving on a suspended license, according to Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders.
During the traffic stop, the sergeant reportedly discovered that the driver had swapped the license plates on the car with the plates on a different car.
In addition to the drugs found during a search of the vehicle, the sergeant found $1,862 in cash, a money counting machine, narcotics packaging materials and an empty firearm case and magazine.
The suspect was arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and driving on a suspended license.
“Exceptional proactive policing by one of our swing shift Sergeants,” Sanders said in a social media post.
