A man was arrested following a traffic-related incident on March 11 after deputies discovered illegal drugs inside a disabled vehicle.
According to the report, deputies approached a vehicle stopped on the roadside and made contact with the driver, identified as 55-year-old John Wayne Cook. While speaking with Cook, officers detected the odor of burnt marijuana coming from the vehicle, giving them probable cause to conduct a search.
During the search, deputies located suspected marijuana, along with a clear plastic container holding a substance believed to be methamphetamine. Authorities also conducted a field test, which returned a positive result for fentanyl.
Cook was taken into custody and charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of a Schedule II controlled substance. He was transported to jail without further incident.
