This traffic stop helped get a ton of illegal drugs off the street

According to WALB News 10, a recent traffic stop led Grady County police officers to a man at the center of a months-long investigation. According to the report, this happened on November 11th, and the driver, Frederic Dewayne Donald, 36, was known to have a suspended driver’s license. The silver lining in this story, if there is one, is that the driver didn’t try to evade the police stop. 

During the traffic stop, the police officers on the scene conducted a search of the vehicle in addition to searching the driver’s person. First, they unearthed illegal prescription pills in his pocket. However, it doesn’t end there, as the officers later found copious amounts of drugs in the vehicle. This includes about 500 doses of meth, which has a reported street value of $3,000.

The traffic stop also uncovered Alprazolam pills, Oxycodone, Alpha PVP(Flakka,) an unknown substance, three digital scales, and plastic bags. Frederic is facing multiple charges. They include:

• Driving with a suspended license
• Trafficking meth
• Two counts of possessing a controlled substance
• Possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute

It’s also important to note that he was out on bond from a previous drug-related arrest. He was also on federal probation.
