Traffic Stop in Rutherford County Leads to Three Arrests and Drug Charges

On Sunday, September 7, 2025, deputies with the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office Road Patrol conducted a traffic stop that led to three arrests.

Deputies were searching for a subject wanted on outstanding charges when they passed a vehicle registered to a residence where the individual was known to stay. Believing the wanted subject might be inside, deputies initiated a stop after noticing multiple occupants in the vehicle.
