A traffic stop leads sheriff's deputies to a major drug bust.

By Sarah Kapis


FAIRMONT- -- Deputies from the Marion County sheriff's department were taking part in a traffic stop when they received information about drugs.

The deputies followed up on the tip that led them to Ridgely Avenue in Fairmont.

Once they got inside, deputies found marijuana, prescription pills, ecstasy, a hand gun and a rile and other drug paraphernalia.

They also found a large amount of cash.

During the raid, deputies arrested 20-year-old Larry Hankins.

Sheriff Junior Slaughter said finding the drug ecstasy is very rare.

"To the best of my knowledge, I know we've known there was ecstasy being sold in Marion County but this is the first time we've been able to arrest an individual," he said.

Hankins is being charged with three counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.

He was sent to North Central Regional Jail and bond has been set at $98,000.
