Vernon RCMP got more than they bargained for from a routine traffic stop near the Predator Ridge turnoff Sunday afternoon. Police were conducting a traffic enforcement on that stretch of Highway 97 when a vehicle was stopped for travelling at an excessive rate of speed. RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk says when the officer approached the vehicle he detected an odour of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Molendyk says a subsequent search of the vehicle turned up 55 grams of cocaine, 17 grams of marijuana bud and more than $2,000 in cash. A 28-year-old man is expected to answer to charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking Monday. A 25-year-old female was arrested but released to appear at a later date.
