Troopers seize $35,429 worth of cocaine in Summit County

COLUMBUS – Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers filed felony drug charges against an Ohio man after a traffic stop in Summit County. During the traffic stop, troopers seized more than 2 pounds of cocaine worth $35,429.

On March 27, at 2:24 p.m., troopers stopped a 2018 Dodge Journey with Pennsylvania registration for a marked lanes violation on the Ohio Turnpike. While interacting with the occupants, troopers detected an odor of raw marijuana coming from the vehicle. A probable cause search revealed the contraband.

The passenger, Antoine L. Moman, 44, of Liverpool, was incarcerated in the Summit County Jail and charged with possession and trafficking in cocaine, both first-degree felonies.

If convicted, he could face up to 22 years in prison and up to a $40,000 fine.
