A traffic stop in Spotsylvania County on Sunday led to a $10,000 heroin bust, according to the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office.

Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Myrick stopped a white Cadillac Escalade in the area of Harrison Road and Green Arbor Drive on Sunday for a traffic violation.

Deputy Green arrived on scene and used his narcotics detection canine partner “Hulk” to sniff the vehicle.  A positive indication from the canine led Deputy Myrick to locate 50 “points” of Heroin inside the vehicle.
