Today’s Good News
Third Precinct Officers Benjamin Frazer and Michael Kiniry recently conducted a traffic stop on Midlothian Turnpike for a vehicle for defective equipment, but found even more crimes inside the vehicle. Once stopped, officers observed marijuana in plain view inside the car and a further search revealed 23 grams of crack cocaine as well. They arrested both the driver and passenger for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and charged the driver with driving without a license, no insurance, no registration, no valid inspection and for having defective equipment. Good work officers!
