A traffic stop Tuesday on Frank Wicker Road led to the arrest of a Sanford man on a plethora of drug-related offenses, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
Jeremy Christopher Haire, 48, was arrested after acetaminophen-oxycodone, Xanax and cocaine were allegedly found in the vehicle he was driving.
A narcotics officer then executed a search warrant at Haire's home in the 900 block of Frank Wicker Road, according to a release.
The searches netted the seizure of more than 10 ounces of methamphetamine, 9 grams of cocaine in the process of being converted into crack-cocaine, and about 3 pounds of marijuana, the release said.
