Tint Violation Leads to Drug Citations

A Georgia man was issued multiple citations Friday after he was stopped for a window tint violation,  and found with a concealed handgun, a large quantity of male enhancement drugs and steroids in his vehicle.

Michael Hess of Georgia was cited and released after the traffic stop at N.C. 11 and U.S. 74, according to the sheriff’s office. A deputy stopped Hess for a window tint violation. After talking with Hess for several minutes, a drug sniffing dog was deployed. The dog found Viagra along with bottles of testosterone and Trenbolone, Deca-Durabolin, Dianabol and Winstrol pills. A quantity of syringes and unknown pills were also recovered.

The items were seized and Hess cited for illegal window tint and other violations.
