Police confiscated more than $100,000 and made two arrests, but would not release many details surrounding the incident. They said it was still under investigation.
Investigators did say the two men are suspected of being drug dealers.
During a press conference today, police said they believed the suspects were traveling to New York to make a drug buy, but were pulled over in Kingsport for a minor traffic offense.
Police said they found the cash in a backpack inside the car, along with a small amount of cocaine.
The Drug Enforcement Agency is helping with the investigation, and Kingsport Police said the suspects could face charges in more than one state.
