Heroin, Stolen Gun Found in Car During Traffic Stop in Cumberland County, Sheriff’s Office Says

Cumberland County, TN (WOKI) Two people are arrested early Wednesday morning after heroin and a stolen gun are found during a traffic stop in Cumberland County.

Officials with the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office say deputies pulled a car over for multiple lane violations on I-40 East just before 2:30 a.m. The driver, Jerry Crandall, and the passenger, William Kirby, couldn’t give deputies a valid driver’s license or proof of insurance.

CCSO says deputies had probable cause to search the car finding a gun which was stolen from Knox County, a glass pipe with residue inside and Narcan. Deputies also found 68 grams, about four ounces, of a substance that field-tested positive for heroin.

Crandall and Kirby were taken into custody and transported to the Cumberland County Jail.
