A deputy initiated a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 1 in Marathon after a car drove past him with its license plate obscured and windows illegally tinted, sheriff's spokeswoman Becky Herrin said.
When the driver, identified as McNair, rolled down his window, the deputy could smell marijuana coming from inside the car, Herrin said.
During a search of the car, the deputy found a backpack with a Cookie Monster doll inside. Noticing that it weighed more than it should, the deputy found a slit cut in the doll and found two packages of cocaine stuffed inside, Herrin said.
Paperwork found inside the backpack indicated that it didn't belong to McNair, Herrin said.
McNair was being held without bond on the felony charge.
