A routine traffic stop resulted in Kingsport Police taking more than $153,000 worth of prescription painkillers off of the streets, and it also landed two people in jail.
Kingsport Police stopped Bristol, Tennessee resident Jonathan Trenton Leonard's Chevrolet Tahoe for speeding on I-81 on Tuesday. Bluff City resident April Shannon Hutson was the passenger in the SUV at the time of the stop.
Police say that they found about 1,800 oxycodone and around 1,300 hydrocodone pills inside of the SUV, after a drug dog hit on a scent.
Leonard and Hutson were both arrested for possession of narcotics for resale.
