Three men are behind bars, after Craven County deputies say they seized a kilo of cocaine.

Jonathan Staton is under a $2 million bond, while Antonia Sanchez and Israel Espenvodla have million dollar bonds. All three are facing multiple counts of cocaine trafficking.

Deputies say Sanchez and Expenvodla were arrested after a traffic stop along Kitetown Road in Vanceboro. Authorities say they found about $12,000 worth of cocaine in their vehicle.

Staton was also stopped by authorities where they found drugs and paraphernalia. Later, deputies searched his Vanceboro home and found more than a kilo of cocaine, worth $100,000, in a locked safe.
