DANVILLE, Ill. (WCIA) — A person from Danville was arrested early Thursday morning after a traffic stop in Indiana led police to suspect criminal activity.

Indiana State Police say just after 1 a.m., an officer conducted a traffic stop on a 1999 Toyota Avalon near 8th and High Streets in West Lebanon. When the officer was interacting with the vehicle’s occupants, he saw indicators of criminal activity, which led him to call for a K-9 unit for further investigation.

A Deputy from the Warren County Sheriff’s Department responded with his K-9 partner, who indicated there were narcotics in the vehicle. When law enforcement then searched the vehicle, they found a suspected controlled substance and marijuana. Officers then located what they suspected to be methamphetamine on the passenger of the vehicle, who was identified as Minke Pos, 39 of Danville, Ill.
