Two Rochester men are facing felony drug charges after Plymouth Police responded to a welfare check at the Economy Inn on Friday and discovered narcotics in the vehicle during the investigation.
Plymouth Police Officers were dispatched to the Economy Inn for a report of two male subjects in a vehicle who were possibly unresponsive. As officers arrived on the scene, the male driver attempted to flee the area.
During the investigation, Plymouth K9 Officer Schieber and K9 Kyzer conducted a free air sniff of the vehicle, which produced a positive alert. A subsequent search of the vehicle was conducted, and narcotics were located. An OWVI investigation was also conducted on both the driver and the passenger.
The driver, Ryne Carpenter, 36, was arrested and charged with possession of narcotics as a Level 5 felony, possession of paraphernalia as a Level 6 felony, and operating a vehicle while intoxicated on a controlled substance. The passenger, Christian Sweet, 30, was arrested and charged with possession of narcotics as a Level 5 felony and possession of paraphernalia as a Level 6 felony.
Both were transported to the Marshall County Jail.
