Trio arrested after police allegedly find methamphetamine during traffic stop

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Three people are facing drug charges after police say they found methamphetamine in a car during a traffic stop.

On July 5 at 4:46 p.m., while assisting in Operation Code Zero, the Crump Station Task Force saw a maroon Subaru Legacy with tinted windows that obstructed the view into the vehicle traveling northbound on New Getwell Road.

A traffic stop was initiated and the tint showed to be darker than the legal limit allows.
