NACOGDOCHES \u2014 Two Baltimore, Maryland, residents were arrested after a Nacogdoches County traffic stop on Thursday afternoon after a drug dog reportedly found a significant amount of cocaine in the vehicle. That’s according to the Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel and KETK. Melvin James Perry, 27, and Ashley Nicole Perc, 23, were both charged with first-degree felony possession of a controlled substance following the initial traffic stop at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday for passing a school bus while it was unloading children, according to a DPS spokeswoman. After speaking with the two, the trooper said criminal indicators of drug trafficking were observed and the consent to search the vehicle was denied.<\/p>\n
Authorities say Perry then tried to run and was caught by the trooper. A DPS drug dog assisted and alerted on the trunk area where 9.5 kilos, or 9,500 grams, of cocaine were reportedly found. Perry also has a misdemeanor evading arrest charge from the incident. Perc remained in the Nacogdoches County Jail in lieu of a $75,000 bond. Perry’s bond was set at a combined $77,500.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
