Last Thursday, August 29th, at approximately 8:15 in the evening, Officer Wozniak with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department initiated a traffic stop on a tan 2000 Pontiac Bonneville on U.S. 31 near 12th Road. During the investigation, it was found that the driver and sole occupant, 48-year-old Toisan D. Fox of Wakarusa, was operating the vehicle with a driving status of suspended prior.
One of the Marshall canine officers was requested to the scene to utilize his canine partner, "Diesel". Diesel alerted to narcotics and a probable cause search of the vehicle resulted in officers locating a large amount of suspected cocaine packaged for distribution.
Fox was booked and processed for a level 2 felony dealing cocaine or narcotic drug, a level 4 felony possession of cocaine or narcotic drug, and driving while suspended prior.
