FERRIDAY, La. &045; A traffic stop on E.E. Wallace Boulevard early Tuesday morning led to the discovery of a large quantity of powder cocaine and marijuana and the arrest of three Ferriday residents.

Ferriday Police stopped LaToya Evans on a traffic violation at 12:23 a.m. and discovered 115 prepackaged bags of powder cocaine and half a gram to a gram of marijuana, Investigator Richard Madison said.

Evans, 27, 813 Fifth St., was driving without a license and while officers were checking her information, passenger Jeremy D. Lee, 23, 355 Fisherman Drive, moved into a car with Joseph L. White, 23, 203 Carolina Ave.

Officers discovered an outstanding warrant from California on Lee and transported the subjects to the station, Madison said.

During a routine vehicle check they discovered the drugs. The substances were stuffed between the seats of the car.

In addition to the cocaine and marijuana another unknown substance was found that has been sent to the lab for testing.

All three were charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of a schedule II narcotic with intent to distribute and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

Evans was also charged with driving under suspension and a stop sign violation.

All three were transferred to the Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office jail. No bond had been set as of Tuesday afternoon.

Madison said the quantity of the drugs found made the bust significant.

&uot;It’s one of the best busts made here in a while,&uot; Madison said.
