KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, Ind. - An Indiana man was arrested Wednesday after state police found more than six pounds of cocaine and thousands of dollars in his vehicle during a traffic stop, authorities said.
The incident occurred just before 3:30 p.m. when an Indiana State Trooper saw a black 2007 BMW SUV commit a moving violation while traveling eastbound on U.S. 30 in Kosciusko County.
The trooper stopped the vehicle near the intersection of U.S. 30 and CR 150 West. A K9 officer assisted and alerted officers to the smell of narcotics, according to state police.
