Inside the Georgia Drug Bust: How Routine Traffic Stop Led to Major Narcotics Seizure


In Georgia, authorities reported a significant drug bust stemming from a routine traffic stop due to expired tags. Nakyla Morman (Pictured above), 33, was pulled over on Oct. 10 for driving a vehicle with an expired license plate. 

During the stop, the officer uncovered a cache of various narcotics and two firearms, as disclosed in a Facebook post by the police department. Among the substances found were marijuana, methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and powder cocaine, including what was referred to as a "crack cookie," shared Marietta Police Officer Chuck McPhilamy with FOX 5 Atlanta.


Morman, believed to be the vehicle's owner, was subsequently apprehended and faced a total of nine felony charges, including trafficking, intent to distribute, and possession of firearms. The location through which Morman purportedly transported the drugs was reportedly in close proximity to numerous daycares, multiple schools, and The Zone, a substance recovery center. 

Concerns were expressed by Daniel Spinney, the director of program services at The Zone, emphasizing the impact on the local community's sense of safety.

Presently, Morman remains confined at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center without the option for bail. Marietta Police Chief Marty Ferrell emphasized the need for heightened awareness and vigilance in the community, emphasizing the potential for trouble to hide in plain sight in the department's Facebook post.
