LORAIN COUNTY, Ohio - Troopers found $50,000 worth of cocaine and heroin during a traffic stop on the Ohio Turnpike.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said they stopped a 2011 Toyota Camry in Lorain County on Wednesday for a marked lane violation.
A drug-sniffing dog alerted troopers to the car, giving them probable cause to search it. According to the patrol, they discovered a half a kilo of cocaine and a small amount of heroin, with an estimated value of $50,000.
Ira R. Lee, 29, and Isaac B. Anderson, 25, both of Detroit, were taken to the Lorain County Jail. Both were charged with possession of cocaine, aggravated trafficking in cocaine and possession of heroin.
