North Charleston police stop 2 men for not wearing seat belts, find themselves with a sack of lies and a bag of cocaine.
Tuesday afternoon officers say they saw two men driving a white Buick on Montague Ave near Independence Street with heavily tinted windows down low enough to see the driver and passenger were not wearing seatbelts.
After stopping the two men, both gave false names. The responding officer recognized the passenger from a previous incident and knew the name he provided was wrong. He asked the driver for the passenger’s name and he said he didn’t know, he just called him “Black.“
“Black” turned out to be 29-year-old Antonio Campbell and police found a bag of cocaine-base in his right shoe. The driver turned out to be 26-year-old Robert Conyers Jr.
Campbell was arrested for drug trafficking and Conyers for providing false information to police and driving with a suspended license. That was Conyers 3rd offense for the same driving violation.
