Nearly 100 grams of heroin and crack cocaine were located during the incident in Uniondale, according to police.

The car was originally pulled over for heavily tinted windows.

Detectives say when the driver stepped out of the car, a scale with white residue fell and hit the sidewalk.

More substances were then found inside, and a bag of crack was even located in the police vehicle when they arrived at the precinct.

The driver, from Brooklyn, and a passenger, from Roosevelt, were arrested.
