Cocaine arrest on Stock Island

A Stock Island man was arrested for possessing cocaine after a traffic stop Wednesday afternoon.

Deputy Alexandra Davis was on patrol on 5th Street, Stock Island just after 2 p.m. when she saw a Ford van with an expired tag. She pulled the van over and identified the driver as 33 year old Anthony Macias. When Macias rolled down his window to speak with the deputy, she smelled the odor of marijuana emitting from the window. Deputy Christopher Schwartz responded to back her up on the traffic stop.

A search of the van turned up 16.4 grams of cocaine in several plastic bags. Macias also had a digital scale in the van like those commonly used to weigh illegal substances; the scale had cocaine residue on it.

Macias was arrested. He was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.
