PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (WHDH) - A Maine man is facing drug charges after state police say he was caught with about a half-pound of suspected heroin during a traffic stop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Saturday.
An officer who stopped a driver for speeding on I-95 removed the occupants of the vehicle when they noticed evidence of recent drug use in plain view, according to New Hampshire State Police.
After consenting to a roadside search, Edson Wilson, of Augusta, was arrested on a charge of possessing drugs with intent to distribute after the officer allegedly located the suspected heroin.
Wilson is expected to be arraigned June 28 in Rockingham Superior Court.
