HAMPTON, N.H. - A 53-year-old Maine man faces a felony drug charge after police in New Hampshire say they found a pound of cocaine hidden in his underwear.

According to State Police, Ralph Belmont of Shapleigh, Maine, was arrested Friday afternoon following a routine traffic stop on Interstate 95 in Hampton.

Police say Belmont and the driver of the car appeared overly nervous, so they searched the car with the consent of the driver.
