A man was arrested after authorities in Alabama found nearly 200 fentanyl pills hidden in Easter eggs during a traffic stop.
The Colbert County Sheriff's Office said they arrested Jamarious Dequan Qualls, 29, at around noon on Monday after a traffic stop in Tuscumbia, about 115 miles north of Birmingham.
Qualls, who had a misdemeanor warrant for his arrest in a different city, consented to have drug agents search his car, the sheriff's office said.
While he was being arrested, agents found two plastic containers with 176 fentanyl pills inside and a plastic bag containing 1oz of “spice” synthetic cannabis.

A photo of the seized drugs showed that the two containers looked like Easter eggs.
Qualls was charged with drug trafficking and unlawful possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. He's currently held in Colbert County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
