Martin County (Shoals): A traffic stop Thursday evening resulted in the driver being charged on multiple narcotics charges.
Around 10:25 P.M. Thursday night, Trooper Stephen Sexton was on Chicken Farm Road in Shoals when he observed a maroon 1995 Ford truck traveling all over the roadway, at one point nearly running off the road. Trooper Sexton initiated a traffic stop, pulling over the driver, Nina S. Sherick, 52, Shoals.
