Police found cocaine and MDMA, the main ingredient in Ecstasy, on Sunday afternoon during a traffic stop, according to an arrest report.

Little Rock police stopped a white Chevrolet SUV on Westminister Drive at 2:30 p.m. Sunday because it had fake tags, the report said.

The driver, whom police later identified as Demetress Shuntez Black, 33, of Little Rock, told officers his name was Tyrae Avery, the report said.

While speaking with Black, police noticed a bag of marijuana, so Black was arrested and his vehicle towed, the report said.

While taking inventory of Black's car, police found what they called significant amounts of marijuana, cocaine and MDMA. They also found a digital scale, the report said.

Black was charged with possession of cocaine, MDMA and marijuana with intent to deliver, as well as obstruction of government operations and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Black is on parole. He remained at the Pulaski County jail Sunday evening in lieu of $81,900 bond.
