During the stop, Deputies noticed the driver to be extremely nervous and had a felony warrant for possession of schedule II narcotics.  As a result of the driver's actions, Deputies asked the driver if they can search the vehicle for any illegal narcotics.  When the driver refused, the Sheriff's Office K-9 was deployed and alerted to the vehicle for illegal narcotics.
