Police discover over $6,000 in drugs following a routine traffic stop

NORWICH – Sheriff’s deputies on patrol discovered thousands of dollars worth of drugs hidden in a couple’s car following a traffic stop.
Friday at about 12:52 p.m., deputies pulled over a 1996 Ford Explorer traveling along county Route 32 in the Town of Norwich because the operator was known not to have a license.
Following the traffic stop, police arrested Shane M. and Stephanie L. Manwarren, both 26, of 274 Fusch Road in the Town of Columbus. Police searched the vehicle and seized marijuana and pills from the false bottom of a Red Bull can. The Sheriff’s Office said the canister had been specifically designed to prevent its detection from law enforcement. Police also seized four ounces of powdered cocaine from the vehicle worth over $6,400.
The Manwarrens were officially charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third and fifth degree (B and D felonies). The couple was also charged with a class A misdemeanor, fifth degree criminal possession of marijuana.
Following the search and seizure of the vehicle, police obtained a search warrant for the couple’s residence in the Town of Columbus and discovered additional marijuana and packaging materials at the home. The Sheriff’s Office was aided by the New York State Police Community Narcotic Enforcement Team.
Both defendants were arraigned in the Town of Norwich Court and remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility. Shane Manwarren is being held in lieu of $100,000 cash bail and Stephanie Manwarren is being held in lieu of $10,000 cash bail. They are scheduled to appear in Town of Norwich Court again at 7 p.m. on Dec. 13. Police said they were continuing their investigation and additional charges were pending.
