Westminster resident Spencer Lee Leckron, Jr., 34, is facing a host of charges following a proactive stop conducted by deputies of a 2016 Nissan Rogue making an unsafe lane change.

A spokesperson from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office said that late last week, deputies on patrol stopped Leckron in the area of Route 140 and Cranberry Road, and a subsequent search by a police K9 determined that there were drugs inside the vehicle.

Investigators say that the search led to the seizure of 52 capsules of suspected heroin/fentanyl weighing 27.1 grams, and 8.6 grams of suspected crystal methamphetamine.

Leckron was taken into custody without incident and charged on Wednesday with: 

  • CDS: Possession with intent to distribute;
  • Possession of controlled paraphernalia for illegal manufacturing or distribution of CDS (not cannabis);
  • Two counts of CDS: Possession of not cannabis.

No details about Leckron's bond info or next court appearance were released.
