Just before 9 p.m. on Monday, January 12th, Officer Wozniak with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department initiated a traffic stop on a gray 2007 Mercury passenger car on U.S. 30 near Elm Road.
During the investigation, a Plymouth Police canine officer responded to the scene, and the canine alerted on the vehicle. A probable cause search was completed, and officers located a plastic baggie containing a white powdery substance that field-tested positive for methamphetamine.
61-year-old Gearld L. Pond Jr. of Yoder, IN was booked into the Marshall County Jail for possession of methamphetamine and held on a $1,500 cash bond.
