Two arrested following early morning traffic stop

A traffic stop on Fort Campbell Boulevard Wednesday morning led to the arrests of two suspects on felony drug trafficking charges.

Hopkinsville police stopped 25-year old Servelia Bibbs of Hopkinsville for speeding just after 4 a.m. and an arrest citation says the officer detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Marijuana was reportedly in plain view and Bibbs admitted to smoking it earlier in the day, according to the report.

A passenger, 27-year old Damon Trice of Hopkinsville, admitted to having a pistol in his pocket, according to police, who say a search of the automobile turned up a large amount of marijuana in sandwich bags in a backpack behind the passenger seat.

Additional marijuana was allegedly located in the floorboard and more baggies in the driver’s side door.

Bibbs and Trice were both arrested and police say Bibbs turned over a small baggie of pills that had been on her person before going to jail.

Both suspects are charged with felony trafficking in marijuana (firearm enhanced) and possession of drug paraphernalia, with Bibbs also charged with trafficking in ecstasy and speeding.
