Traffic Stop by Manchester Police Leads to Drug Charges

Last week Manchester Police arrested Jared Bostic on drug charges. What started off as a simple traffic stop turned into a lot more.
According to a report Officer Kenny Sullivan, he stopped a car that Bostic was traveling in.
In Sullivan’s police report he says he saw a car driven by a female speeding and swerving. She said she had dropped a cigarette and that is why she was swerving. Sullivan advised her that he could smell marijuana coming from the car. When Sullivan asked if there was any marijuana in the vehicle, Bostic allegedly handed him a bag of marijuana. The female admitted she had been smoking marijuana.
The officer says he received permission to search vehicle. Sullivan looked in the passenger side seat and allegedly found a plastic bag with a marijuana joint and lose tobacco that had been taken from a cigar. He also found $2,660 in cash in the glove compartment of the vehicle, which Bostic said was money given him by a relative.
Officers Sullivan and Lee Nettles were told by the female and Bostic that they had a Bong at their Forrestwood Drive address. After a search warrant was obtained, Bostic showed them $15,366 in cash at the home. As the search continued officers allegedly found 59 oxy-morphine pills in a plastic bag, scales, marijuana residue as well as a ledger showing sales of items and the amount of money received.
The police report says that the female told officers that Bostic had arrived at the residence a couple of days before with the bag and its contents.
Bostic was charged with manufacturing/sell/delivery of a controlled substance and possession of a schedule VI drug. He was booked into the Coffee County Jail. The female did not receive any charges.
