Police officers will tell you, there is no such thing as a "simple traffic stop."

Such was the case Monday night (June 4) when an officer pulled over a vehicle for an expired registration sticker.

A check of the license information of the driver showed that his license had been revoked. Checks on the two passengers showed they were both wanted by the courts. Additional investigation led to the discovery of illegal narcotics in the vehicle.
