The police officer contacted the driver, who admitted to possessing controlled substances, and the officer could see controlled substances in plain sight.
A search of the vehicle revealed evidence indicative of drug sales, and a large amount of suspected fentanyl was seized.
The driver was subsequently arrested and booked at Orange County Jail on charges related to drug sales.
