The patrol officers initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle near Warren Street and Woodbine Avenue. The driver, identified as Paul, allegedly told officers his license was suspended.
Officers then conducted a search of the vehicle and found two plastic bags of crack cocaine and multiple checks with various names and companies on them, none of which were issued to Paul, according to investigators.
In total, police seized 29 checks worth approximately $24,078.77 and 16 grams of crack cocaine.
Paul was arrested without incident and will be arraigned in Roxbury District Court.
