Officer Truty with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department arrested a North Carolina man early Saturday morning, July 20th after observing him commit a moving violation.
At approximately 12:50 a.m., the deputy conducted a traffic stop on Pioneer Drive near Lincoln Highway for a moving violation. During the investigation the officer discovered the 38-year-old driver, Kurt T De La Rosa of Barnardsville, NC to be in possession of marijuana.
An Indiana Conservation Officer that had stopped to assist discovered Mr. De La Rosa to be in possession of items related to a protected species. He was transported to the Marshall County Jail for possession of marijuana and held on a $250 cash bond.
The department of natural resources is conducting a separate investigation.
