FLORIDA — A traffic stop for texting while driving led to the seizure of a large amount of narcotics and the arrest of a Fort Myers man, according to police.
The Fort Myers Police Department said the stop occurred March 25 along the Palm Beach Boulevard corridor during a proactive patrol by Special Enforcement Division detectives.
Detectives said they observed a driver texting while operating a vehicle with unlawful window tint, prompting the stop. During the encounter, officers reported smelling marijuana coming from the vehicle.
