INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man and woman from Kentucky were arrested Thursday in Spencer county after an Indiana State Police K9 office detected drugs in their vehicle.
Trooper Andrew Recker was patrolling Interstate 64 near Ferdinand around 8:10 p.m. when he stopped a Chevrolet Camaro for speeding.
State police say Recker became suspicious while talking to the occupants of the car, identified as 34-year-old William Byarly and 35-year-old Amy Peek, and asked for a K-9 officer.
Trooper Lauer and his K9 partner, Barker, arrived a short time later. ISP says Barker performed an open-air sniff of the car and alerted Lauer to the presence of drugs.
During a search of the vehicle, officers found methamphetamine, marijuana, hypodermic needles, other narcotics, and drug paraphernalia.
Byarly and Peek were arrested for drug possession and transported to the Spencer County Jail.
Formal charges have not been filed.
