BEDFORD – Three people were arrested early Friday morning when officers were conducting a traffic stop after learning the driver had a suspended license.
Officers observed a black Honda CRV traveling north on State Road 37 being driven by 30-year-old Brian McIntosh, of Bedford, and initiated a traffic stop upon learning his driving privileges had been suspended.
Passengers in the vehicle were identified as 23-year-old Sarah Kinser and 25-year-old Kyle White.
A K-9 officer arrived to assist the scene. K-9 Unit Dusty was deployed around the vehicle and alerted officers to potential paraphernalia in the vehicle.
During a search of the vehicle, officers located two bags containing methamphetamine. Upon locating the drugs, officers detained the three individuals.
Officers located multiple clear plastic bags and a black box containing a tourniquet, cotton swabs, along with a metal cap containing fentanyl on the back seat. Two additional metal caps in the center consul that contained meth residue were also discovered.
