Routine traffic stop nets nearly $7k in cash, heroin
BROOKVILLE - A routine traffic stop along Interstate 70 turned into a major drug bust Tuesday, March 2, as Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies recovered nearly $7,000 in cash and eight ounces of heroin.
Gregory Kinnard, 45, and Danielle Warfield, 29, are in the county jail each on a felony drug possession charge after the drugs were removed from a rental car the pair was driving westbound along the interstate near mile marker 19 on I-70, Chief Deputy Scott Landis said.
Deputies and prosecutors have been meeting to get formal charges approved, but that has not happened as of Thursday morning.
The pair was stopped about 2 p.m. Tuesday for excessive speed and a curious deputy uncovered the money, Landis said. A drug-sniffing dog checked the car and immediately indicated there were drugs inside.
Kinnard nor Warfield are cooperating with drug detectives who want to know how they obtained the cash and heroin, investigators said. Neither have prior arrest records in the county, according to jail and court records.
