The Killeen, Texas Police Department reported on July 27, 2023 that a major haul of illegal drugs were seized after what began as a routine traffic stop escalated with the passenger attempting to flee on foot. According to reports, just after 4:30 PM KPD began to attempt to pull over a white GMC Terrain for a traffic violation in the 200 block of Hallmark Avenue, and the subsequent searching of the vehicle led to a large quantity of narcotics being confiscated.

Killeen Police were assisted by a K9 unit in their investigation. Two people were arrested and transported to the Killeen City Jail where they now await formal charges, and will most likely be moved to the Bell County Jail.
