Authorities say a routine traffic stop in Franklin County on Wednesday, May 7, led to the arrest of a Commerce man on multiple drug-related charges.
According to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy initiated the stop after they observed a Ford F-250, allegedly driven by Steven Roberts of Commerce, with an expired registration. During the encounter, Roberts allegedly informed the deputy that he was on felony probation. Police say he admitted to possessing drug-related objects.
A subsequent search of the vehicle allegedly uncovered approximately 30 grams of suspected methamphetamine, according to authorities.
Roberts was taken into custody and transported to the Franklin County Detention Center. He now faces charges of trafficking methamphetamine, possession and use of drug-related objects, and operating a vehicle with expired registration.
