According to police, the traffic stop happened at 2:22 a.m. when officers on routine patrol saw a Ford F150 heading north on Bolingbrook Drive near Beaconridge Drive and "the truck made a quick lane change causing the vehicle already in that lane to slam on the brakes and honk its horn to avoid a collision," reports show.

"While speaking the occupants of the truck officers observed a white powder above the passenger’s upper lip. Officers suspected the powder was cocaine. The passenger was identified as Jose Mora-Ruiz, 49 years of age," reports show.

Everyone inside the truck was told to get out and one of Bolingbrook's drug-sniffing drugs was summoned. "Officers located a small baggie of a white powder which tested positive for cocaine," police said.

As for Mora-Ruiz, he was put in the backseat of a Bolingbrook squad car and taken to the Will County Adult Detention Facility. The Bolingbrook man has been charged with possession of a controlled substance.
