Traffic stop leads to drug investigation

An improper lane change on Dixie Highway led to the apprehension of four men suspected of involvement in a drug deal on Nov. 3.
According to Oakland County Sheriff reports, the traffic stop revealed that the driver, a 23-year-old Pontiac man, was driving on a suspended license. One of the passengers, a 24-year-old Pontiac man, was wanted on an outstanding warrant.
Another passenger was found to have more than $1,000 cash in his pocket, reports said. The man claimed to be on his way to buy a car for his girlfriend, but a search of the car revealed an electronic scale with residue of white powder which later tested positive as cocaine.
A K-9 unit was called, and the drug dog made a positive hit on several locations inside the vehicle and on the cash, reports said.
The case was turned over to the Oakland County Narcotics Enforcement Team for further investigation.
