Associated Press - August 26, 2008 9:04 PM ET

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Authorities say a Gwinnett County police officer seized 67 kilograms of cocaine with a street value of about $6.7 million after a traffic stop on Interstate 85 northeast of Atlanta.

The police report says the officer stopped a Jeep Cherokee for a traffic violation near Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road about 5:30 p.m. Monday and learned that the driver did not have a valid driver's license. Several plastic bundles of white powder were found under a blanket in the rear cargo area.
Police say Roberto Hernandez-Avila of Lawrenceville was charged with cocaine trafficking and was lodged Tuesday in the county jail
