This video contains excerpts from a Jan. 8, 2010, traffic stop by Alamance County sheriff's deputies. The deputies stopped a truck containing three Hispanic men.The driver, whom the sherifff's office said was 14, wasn't charged. The truck's two passengers, Jorge Vazquez and Esteban Flores Guzman, were each charged with two counts of trafficking in cocaine and one count apiece of resisting a public officer and possessing drug paraphernalia. The sheriff's office initially said the arrests were the result of a routine traffic stop. In June, about two months after attorney Octavis White began representing Vazquez, the Alamance County District Attorney's Office told White that deputies had been surveilling Vazquez for two days before the stop, and that deputies had additional evidence not included in the original discovery provided to the defense. In court documents in July and August, White questioned what prompted the stop and asked for all discovery materials. District Attorney Pat Nadolski said recently that White has received all discovery in the case.
