Martin Franklin Efird, 36, was charged with possession when police found crack cocaine during a traffic stop.

P.I.T. officers with the Salisbury Police Department were conducting a traffic checkpoint at the corner of North Long and Short streets Thursday night when Efird rode up on a mo-ped. According to the report, Efird did not have valid registration for his vehicle. Officers ran his name and learned that Efird had two outstanding warrants, one for larceny in Rowan County and one for shoplifting in Iredell County. While police were patting Efird down for arrest, they allegedly found one gram of crack cocaine.
