By Concord Police Department

Last week, CPD Patrol Officers made an enforcement stop on a car for vehicle code violations. During the stop, the driver was found to be unlicensed and…. had a narcotic smoking pipe on him! Additionally, he also had prior arrests for narcotic sales offenses.

Patrol Officers searched the vehicle and found nearly a quarter of a pound of methamphetamine! The evidence pointed to narcotic possession for sales.

He was arrested for possession and transportation of a controlled substance for sales, along with other offenses.

CPD is dedicated to keeping the streets safe for our community.
