A traffic stop on US 59 near SH 242 has taken more drugs off the street. A Montgomery County Precinct 4 deputy working traffic on US 59 stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation. As they were talking to the driver another vehicle which had been running with the first driver circled around. He was also stopped. K-9 Dino was deployed and detected drugs. A search of the vehicle netted cocaine and just over $27,000 in cash. This is not the first incident these suspects were involved in as both have past criminal history of money laundering and drugs. Arrested was Carl Jacob Manikowski. He is charged with possession of controlled substance and money laundering. Also arrested was Damien Laroy Craddock who is charged with the same.
