HOLLIS — A traffic stop has again yielded arrests and drug seizure.
Around 2 a.m. Wednesday Rutherford County sheriff’s deputies stopped a car on Hollis Road near Jack Moore Mountain Road for a registration violation. During the course of the stop, a passenger in the car provided officers with a fictitious name. He was then found to be in possession of methamphetamine. He was later learned to be Steven Daniel Edwards, 34, of Forest City. Edwards had seven outstanding warrants at the time of the stop.
A search of the vehicle revealed a large quantity of methamphetamine, approximately 327 grams, as well as 38.1 grams of marijuana.
As a result, driver Andy Darren Greene, 54, of Bostic, was also arrested.
Greene was charged with trafficking methamphetamine, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, maintain a vehicle for a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and a fictitious license plate. Greene was jailed under a $50,000 secured bond.
In addition to the outstanding warrants, Edwards was charged with possession of methamphetamine and identity theft. He was also given a $50,000 secured bond.
Deputy Caitlin Condrey initiated the traffic stop. She was assisted by deputies Cory Watkins, Justin Painter and Lt. Stephen Ellis.
