That friend apparently was known to police as one of the suspected dealers.

Police said when they asked Debone if he had any drugs on him, he got really nervous and was shaking.

Police said he handed over a bag of a white powdery substance. There ended up being 33 bags of cocaine, police said.

Debone also allegedly had seven pills of ecstasy under the seat.

He doesn’t have a criminal history and has already posted bond.
