A man pulled over for a suspended license ended up with more charges after LaGrange officers found suspected drugs inside his car about 1:30 Thursday morning on Lafayette Parkway near Kia Drive.

The driver immediately got out of his car and told police he did not have a license, according to an officer’s report. After officers handcuffed him and asked the driver if they could search the car, he allegedly told them the vehicle was not his and whatever was inside the car was not his.

Police said the driver finally granted consent and officers located a clear plastic bag containing suspected cocaine under the front driver’s seat.

The driver was charged for driving on a suspended license and violation of the Georgia controlled substances act.
