‘Wrong Way’ Traffic Stop Yields Stafford Drug Bust

STAFFORD, Va. -- Authorities said a car drove right into the path of oncoming traffic on U.S. 1, and then it was time to pull over the driver and see what was up.

The driver turned right onto U.S. 1 north from Jason Lane in Stafford, about 6 a.m. Monday. A sheriff’s deputy happened to be in the area and began following the car once he saw the driver ignore a stop sign at U.S. 1 and Jason Lane. The driver continued north about a half mile to Coal Landing Road.

Approaching a signal, the driver pulled into a left turn lane at the intersection and – true to form – blew through a red light and turned left and turned back onto U.S. 1, this time heading north into the path of southbound traffic, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.
