SALISBURY — After a late-night stop in Salisbury over the weekend, police reportedly recovered large amounts of crack cocaine and charged the driver with trafficking.

Samuel Lee Stallings, 60, faces felony charges for trafficking in cocaine following the stop that reportedly took place in the 1000 block of Klumac Road around 11:53 p.m. on Friday.

According to reports from the Salisbury Police Department, an officer observed “suspicious behavior” from a 2020 Nissan Altima driver.

The passenger in the vehicle reportedly had an open container of alcohol, but that person’s identity was not released.

During the stop, the officer reportedly discovered the driver, later identified as Stallings, gave a substance to the passenger to hold. The substance reportedly appeared to be crack cocaine and later was measured at 59 grams.
