BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — A traffic stop turned drug bust in Brevard County ended with a man in custody after deputies say he drove into a ditch and attempted to discard a bag of cocaine.
Deputy Rodney Alford of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office conducted the stop late Friday night when a vehicle veered off the road. The driver, identified as Lorenzo Leming, exited the car and dropped a bag containing what appeared to be a white powder.
According to the sheriff’s office, field testing confirmed the bag contained 29.15 grams of cocaine. A subsequent search of Leming revealed additional cocaine in his shorts pocket.
Leming was arrested at the scene and transported to the Brevard County Jail, known locally as “Ivey’s Iron Bar Lodge.” He was booked on charges of trafficking in cocaine and is being held without bond.
“Anytime you mess around, you’re gonna find out in Brevard County,” Sheriff Wayne Ivey stated following the arrest.
