A Carrboro traffic stop led to several felony narcotics charges.

Documents show that 26-year-old Mitchell Watson Lucas was arrested Wednesday evening at the gas station near Carrboro Plaza.

Police records show Lucas was charged with six felony narcotics charges, including trafficking in opium or heroin, possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver marijuana and sell or deliver a schedule I controlled substance.

Carrboro Police Captain Chris Atack said Lucas was arrested after a traffic stop but added that no other details could be released at this time.

Lucas was given a $150,000 secured bond and made his first appearance on Thursday. Records show that he is due back in court on February 4.
