Ninety Miles per Hour Traffic Stop Yields Three Arrests
Putnam County—This morning at 10:15, Indiana State Police Trooper Yan Dravigne stopped a blue 2003 Pontiac car for traveling 90 miles-per-hour in a 70 mph zone eastbound I-70 near the 37 mile marker.
During conversations with the driver and passengers, Trooper Dravigne noticed several indicators of possible criminal activity. Putnam County Sheriff’s Deputy Captain Dwight Simmons and K-9 “Beau” arrived to assist and “Beau” gave a positive alert to the odor of illegal drugs. A search of the vehicle yielded three bags of synthetic drugs (K-2 or Spice), less than one gram of Methamphetamine, two Schedule IV controlled substance pills, seven syringes, scales and other paraphernalia.
