The underbelly of drug trafficking was exposed in the Upstate over the weekend, but it happened in the most unconventional way possible. The Anderson County Sheriff's Office conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle on a vehicle on I-85, over the weekend.
Deputies noticed during the traffic stop that a woman in the vehicle appeared to be pregnant. They became suspicious when the two suspects, Cemeka Mitchem and Anthony Miller gave conflicting information on her due date.
