Jose Sanchez
arrested on
drug charges
Deputies from the Cleve-
land County Sheriff’s Office
arrested Jose Luis Benitez
Sanchez, 24, 1010 Dodd St.,
Shelby, on two counts of
trafficking cocaine on Sept.
25. He was jailed in the
Cleveland County Detention
Center under no bond.
Cleveland County Sheriff
Alan Norman said that offi-
cers spotted a vehicle speed-
ing on Cherryville Road,
stopped the vehicle and no-
ticed that the passenger in
the car was extremely nerv-
ous and reached for the door
handle several times as if he
wanted to exit the car and
run. Deputies became con-
cerned about the passenger’s
actions and had him step out
of the vehicle.
As the passenger stepped
out of the vehicle deputies
noticed a large bulge in his
right front pants pocket. -
When one of the deputies
brought the bulge to the at-
tention of the other deputy
the passenger grabbed the
items in an attempt to con-
ceal it further. Deputies re-
moved the item from the
passenger’s pocket and
found that it was approxi-
mately one ounce of cocaine.
As deputies attempted to
place the passenger in hand-
cuffs he pushed one of ‘the
deputies and started to run,
but the deputies were'able to
restrain him and handcuff
Sanchez without further in-
cident, the sheriff said.
