State Trooper Nabs Large Amount of Drugs on Traffic Stop
(Dec. 6)  Doing it the old fashioned way, just the way that Maryland State Police Superintendent Col. Tim Hutchins said it would work for police officers in order to catch terrorists still works on drug dealers too.  Early on Monday morning, Maryland State Police Trooper Trossbach made a traffic stop and ended up with a large quantity of hard drugs, perhaps cocaine or heroin, but not marijuana.   The boys had a car full of crack cocaine...how many white crackheads at local bars will now have to smoke dope due to their favorite drug dealers being sidelined in jail with their complete array of crack cocaine being turned over to police custody?    Arrested by Trooper Trossbach were Thomas Lionel Wills, 27, of Radford Lane in Lexington Park and Jarvis Joseph Carter, 25, of Guenther Drive in Great Mills.   The trooper pulled the crack dealing bozos over on Rt. 5 near St. Mary's College, for doing 67 in 30 mph speed zone and noticed in plain view several rocks of crack.   They may have been smoking too much of that stuff and got sloppy.  In any event, the trooper placed them both under arrest and a search incident to arrest, according to Lt. Brian Cedar, commander of the Leonardtown Barracks of the Maryland State Police, revealed a large quantify of crack cocaine, worth thousands of dollars.  Lt. Cedar places the value  for the 196 grams of crack at more than $11,000.  Since the crack was southbound at 2 am, the drugs were likely a delivery for the coming week.
