MONROE COUNTY, Ga. — Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested two people after finding "what appeared to be" half a pound of crack cocaine, according to a press release from the sheriff's office. 

They say it all started with a traffic stop on March 7 at around 8:25 p.m.

During the search, they say they found even more drugs. They say they found two small bags that authorities suspect is crack cocaine. According to the press release, they say it was hidden between the front seat and the center console of the car.
