Traffic Stop Nets Meth Bust, Multiple Arrests

Acting on information received through tips, the Grand Traverse Sheriffs Office Interdiction Team netted several arrests following a traffic stop near Chums Corner over the weekend. The vehicle was suspected to be involved in the distribution of methamphetamine; the two occupants of the vehicle both had outstanding arrest warrants for their arrests.

The vehicle in the incident had been reported stolen from the Kalamazoo on November 1. And within the vehicle, 58 grams of methamphetamine and 3 grams of suspected heroin were seized.

The Sheriffs Office says nformation from the traffic stop led to the execution of a search warrant at an area hotel room where the two had been staying; evidence of narcotic distribution and a small amount of suspected methamphetamine were found there, as well as live firearm ammunition and components.

A 35-year-old Traverse City woman was arrested for multiple local warrants; a 36-year-old Interlochen man was arrested for multiple local warrants, possession with intent to distribute Methamphetamine/Heroin, possession of a stolen vehicle, being a felon in possession of ammunition, and a parole violation.
