Sioux Falls Police Traffic Stop Results in Major Cocaine Bust

Sioux Falls Police Information Officer Sam Clemens says a traffic stop at Sixth Street and Minnesota Avenue on Saturday led to a cocaine bust.

"We had a car that made a turn on red and pulled in front of another car. An officer happened to be at the intersection and saw that take place. The car was stopped. Officers smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. Eventually the found not only a small amount of marijuana but about 192 grams of cocaine. That is a pretty significant amount. Most of the time we see small amounts of cocaine. It's not that frequent we come across this amount of the drug."

Clemens says the driver of the car and two passengers have been charged with possession of cocaine and some marijuana.
