A recent overnight traffic stop on Friday, Nov. 29 allegedly found a Mishawaka man in possession of a firearm and drugs in Marshall County.
Marshall County officers conducted the traffic stop in the area of U.S. 30 and Michigan Road on Friday where drugs and a loaded firearm were reportedly found in the possession of the driver, 26-year-old Travis McClurg.
Police say McClurg was under the influence of a controlled substance at the time of the traffic stop. He was reportedly taken to the hospital for a certified test.
McClurg was arrested on a preliminary felony charge of legend drug deception and misdemeanor charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a prior conviction, operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person, operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a controlled substance, and possession of marijuana. Police indicate that additional formal charges may be filed. He has since bonded out of the Marshall County Jail.
