MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WKRN) — What started as a traffic stop Friday evening turned into an arrest and the discovery of "dangerous drugs" in Mt. Juliet, officials said.

The Mt. Juliet Police Department said officers stopped a vehicle on Mt. Juliet Road near I-40 Friday evening for displaying a suspended license plate on Friday, June 13.
