A traffic stop near U.S. 30 and Plymouth Goshen Trail Thursday evening, Aug. 22, by a Marshall County Sheriff’s Department K9 officer ended with the arrest of two individuals from Fort Wayne.
Deputy Blake Bennett stopped the vehicle about 9:30 p.m. and identified the driver as 27-year-old Nacala Koudou and her passenger as 36-year-old Desmond Henderson.
During the traffic stop, Plymouth Police Department K-9 Officer Castor conducted an open-air sniff around the vehicle and alerted to the presence of drugs. A search of the vehicle was conducted and suspected drugs were located inside.
