TRAFFIC STOP NETS $11,500 OF HEROIN

Major Crimes Task Force Agents and Sheriff’s Deputies last night (30 Dec 09) arrested three individuals after a traffic stop on Interstate 77. Stopped for a traffic violation near milepost twelve, a canine sniff indicated the presence of drugs in a vehicle driven by Steven E. McCabe, age 50, 840 Pike Street Apt. 25, Marietta. Agents did not locate drugs during a thorough search of the passenger compartment but under questioning, the vehicle’s backseat passenger, Cynthia K. Dailey, age 35, 710 Front Street Apt. 2, Marietta, admitted having drugs concealed inside her body. Ms. Dailey later produced twenty-three grams of what Agents believe is heroin from a body cavity.
