Traffic Stop Turns Into Major Drug Bust | Gainesville News

A traffic stop in Cross City, Florida, turned into a major bust when Eugene Young, 41, sped off after police spotted a suspicious Christmas bag — leading to a high-speed chase and eventual capture. Officers recovered over 2.5 pounds of meth, 27.5 oxycodone pills, and 7.5 grams of marijuana, all destined for Dixie County streets. Young now faces multiple serious charges, including meth trafficking — carrying a minimum 15-year sentence and $250K fine — plus possession, tampering, and fleeing. The joint effort between Cross City PD and Dixie County Sheriff’s Office shut down a dangerous operation before it could harm more communities.
