About 10:45 p.m. last Tuesday, Marietta police officers spotted Reese drive his vehicle through the gore along I-75 South near Delk Road, the warrant said. After initiating a traffic stop, officers said they found the stash of drugs hidden in various brief cases and plastic bags throughout the vehicle.
