Drugs, Money & Speeding Along I-95: A ride along with Nash Co.'s Sheriff

Interstate 95 is the busiest highway on the east coast, running from Miami to Maine straight through North Carolina. For 50 miles, I-95 runs through Nash County. So far in 2024, deputies there have stopped over 1,000 people for various reasons on the interstate and U.S. 64 and 264. Most traffic stops are routine. But the interstate intercept team also confiscates cash, drugs and even sometimes finds criminals wanted for arrest. On Tuesday, officers pulled over a driver for speeding and found more than $100,000 in cash. A Nash County drug dog quickly hit on the smell of drugs on the money. That was one of dozens of stops made by the interstate intercept team while WRAL Investigates rode along. The officers, from Nash County and neighboring jurisdictions, are working together to make the highly trafficked interstate safer." Stone described I-95 as "one of the deadliest highways in the U.S. for traffic accidents, because of the speeds." He said interstate intercept is "probably one of the most dangerous jobs in law enforcement. You don't know who you are dealing with. We get people out here wanted for murder, for violent offenses." The joint operation is done four times per year in an effort to cut down on speeding and other common offenses –seatbelt use, following too closely, changing lanes without signaling. Most stops start with a speeding vehicle.
