Police say the driver provided a name of an individual who was not licensed and was unable to produce a driver’s licence photo to confirm his identity.
Investigators allege that the driver was attempting to mislead police.
As officers attempted to gain control of the accused, they say he began to resist. They used a stun gun and say they handcuffed him without further incident.
In searching the accused vehicle, police say they found over 422 grams of “street ready” fentanyl and 6.3 grams of pure uncut fentanyl.
The street value is estimated at $121,265, police say.
