A Tennessee couple transporting millions of dollars’ worth of cocaine was fatally shot during a traffic stop in Texas, authorities reported. Edward and Elizabeth Stevenson were initially identified through undercover drug purchases by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office. This led to a search warrant being issued for their home, where investigators discovered a significant amount of suspected methamphetamine, fentanyl, firearms, body armor, and ammunition.
Further investigation revealed that the Stevensons were driving a semi-truck through Texas with illegal drugs and were armed. The couple had reportedly expressed intentions of engaging in a 'suicide by cop' scenario if confronted by law enforcement.
