An Enfield man was charged Monday with possession of 13 hits of crack cocaine following a traffic stop.

Chief Deputy Scott Hall of the Halifax County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Corporal P. Moyer made the stop around 3:30 p.m. after noticing a minor traffic violation at the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Bell Street in Enfield.

During the stop, Moyer spoke with the driver of the 2014 Altima, Charlie Whitaker Jr., 34, and could reportedly smell marijuana coming from the vehicle.

A search of the vehicle by Bosco, a sheriff's office canine, led to the discovery of a white pill bottle containing the crack.

Moyer arrested and charged Whitaker with possession of cocaine, possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine, maintaining a vehicle to store a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and fictitious registration.

Whitaker awaits a June 29 court date after posting $3,000 bond.
