According to officials from the Richmond Police Department, detectives with the department's Strategic and Focused Enforcement, or SAFE, Crime Suppression Unit, conducted a traffic stop in the area of South 13th Street and South L Street on Monday.




During the stop, 29-year-old Tayonne Tevis was taken into custody after he was reportedly found to have more than 235 grams of illegal narcotics. Officials said this included suspected heroin and cocaine.
