Two Montgomery men are in the Elmore County Jail on drug trafficking charges following a Tuesday traffic stop on Highway 229.
According to court records, Terrance Carr, 43, of Montgomery, was driving on Highway 229 and leaving Tallassee when Elmore County deputies clocked him at 75 mph in a 55 mph zone. Deputies stopped Carr’s Nissan Sentra.
“When the driver gets out the deputy notices some pills in the door,” Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin said. “He questioned them about it and it led to a search.”
Narcotics were also found on Timothy Sanders, 30, of Montgomery, a passenger in the car and in the center console of the car.
“They took inventory and found crack cocaine, powder cocaine and then enough pills classified as an opioid to be trafficking,” Franklin said.
Deputies found about 4.3 grams of hydrocodone, 4.7 grams of oxycodone, 14.7 grams of crack, 11.2 grams of cocaine in the vehicle and on the occupants of the car.
Both were taken to the Elmore County Jail and charged with trafficking opium, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia. They both have a $1,531,000 bond available to them. Carr was also cited for speeding.
