Canine Dusty responded to the scene and alerted police to possible drugs in the vehicle.

During a search of the vehicle, police found a glass smoking device that contained THC wax.

In Kristan’s pocket, police found a container that had a plastic baggy containing crystal meth and a baggy that contained marijuana.

He was arrested on charges of possession of meth and marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
