A Muncie man was arrested Thursday, August 19 after a traffic stop allegedly found the driver in possession of drugs.
The traffic stop was conducted in the area of 12th Road and Pear Road in Plymouth just before 9:30 p.m. ET. Police say K9 Diesel was deployed and alerted to the presence of narcotics inside the vehicle. Officers from the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department searched the vehicle and reportedly found suspected fentanyl, methamphetamine, and over $16,000 suspected to be involved in the sale, delivery, or financing the delivery of illegal drugs.
The driver, 50-year-old Lawrence Edward Gannom, was also found to be operating a vehicle with a suspended license, according to the report.
Gannom faces preliminary charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of cocaine or a narcotic drug, and driving while suspended with a prior conviction. He is in the Marshall County Jail with a $1,505 cash bond.
Suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
