An Upstate man is facing drug trafficking charges after a traffic stop in Western North Carolina, last week. Jason Andrew Jenkins of Pendelton was stopped on I-40 near Candler, last Wednesday.

The Buncombe County Sheriff's Office says nearly a quarter pound of fentanyl, almost three ounces of crack, over $5,000 in cash and 6 grams of marijuana were found during the stop.

Jenkins is charged with trafficking fentanyl and crack, maintaining a vehicle for controlled substance, marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.
