State Police at Homer conducted a traffic stop for a vehicle that was traveling on I81 Northbound in the Town of Cortlandville around 9pm on Sunday, August 25th, that did not have its rear tail lights illuminated.

During the traffic stop on the vehicle, State Police spoke with the two male occupants in the vehicle. As Troopers investigated, both provided Troopers with conflicting information. Further investigation and then a search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a large amount of drugs inside.
