A Tennessee couple hauling $3.4 million worth of cocaine was killed in a shootout with police following a traffic stop in the Texas Panhandle, according to authorities.
The couple, whom police identified as Edward and Elizabeth Stevenson, had been under investigation by the Putnam County Sherriff’s Office drug unit in Cookeville, Tennessee, for selling illegal drugs. On May 9, a search warrant was issued after undercover officers purchased drugs from the duo.
