CAROLINE COUNTY, Va. -- Four people now face 104 felony charges after what deputies called a "routine traffic stop" in Caroline County. It happened March 29 when a deputy clocked a vehicle traveling 70 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone. The deputy swept the car for drugs. While no drugs were found, the deputy did notice something suspicious -- numerous IDs and credit cards in the console.
