NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — An investigation into a stolen vehicle led to the discovery of a large amount of fentanyl and other drugs Tuesday in South Nashville, according to Metro police.
According to court documents, around 8 p.m. Tuesday, officers patrolling near Harding Pike and Antioch Pike checked the tag number of a black Ford F150 that matched the description of a truck reported stolen in the area. The inspection reportedly showed the tags did not match the vehicle.
Officers conducted a traffic stop on the Ford in the 3000 block of Mimosa Drive. The driver, 44-year-old Angela Moore, got out of the vehicle to speak with detectives and officers noticed a baggie containing white powder in the center console. Moore was detained so officers could conduct a search on the vehicle.
During the search, they discovered several bags of narcotics and drug paraphernalia. In total, officers recovered 511 grams of fentanyl, 4.5 grams of crack cocaine, 70 oxycodone pills and one gram of methamphetamine. A Smith and Wesson handgun and several digital scales were also found in the vehicle.
The Ford and handgun were confirmed to be stolen out of Davidson County.
Moore faces multiple charges spanning nine counts, including felony vehicle theft, felony drug possession and felony firearm possession. Her bond is set at $195,000.
