5 jailed after Thanksgiving traffic stop

Five people were arrested on numerous charges following a traffic stop.

On Thursday, November 26 at 9:43 a.m., Deputy G.W. Gildea stopped a vehicle in the 100 block of Warrenton Road.

The deputy obtained the identity of the driver and passengers inside the vehicle, and the deputy determined three passengers had provided him a false identity, a sheriff’s spokeswoman said.
