Officers pulled the 36-year-old over in a black Audi SQ5.

A search of the vehicle uncovered cannabis, digital scales, cash, two phones, and a “substantial amount” of prescription drugs.
Parkes was arrested and taken to a nearby station, where a strip search revealed the stash stuffed in his underwear.
Cops said the drugs found in his pants included around £2,000 worth of cocaine and heroin.
Following the discovery, Parkes reportedly told officers: “I f*cing knew I shouldn’t have had that.
“I wanted to get it down the toilet before you got hold of it.
“What you’ve got there is a quarter of cocaine.”
The police stop took place on Station Road, Rudheath, Northwich, Cheshire, as reported by Need To Know.
Parkes, from Adlington Drive, Northwich, appeared at Chester Crown Court last Friday (3 Oct), where he was sentenced.
He had earlier pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs – heroin and cocaine – and one count of possession of Class B drugs, cannabis.
Pd Chris Box, of Cheshire Police, said: “Thanks to the fantastic teamwork of the officers here at Northwich, another drug dealer is now behind bars.
“And we’ve been able to remove a sizeable quantity of illegal drugs off the streets of our town.
“The consequences of illegal drugs reach far and wide, and the sentence handed to Parkes today should send a strong message.
“To anyone wanting to deal drugs in our town, they will be held accountable.
“We will always act on any information about drug activity provided to us.
“And I would urge anyone who believes this activity is happening near them to get in touch via 101 or on the website.”
