Traffic stop leads to drug bust in Howard County
KOKOMO, Ind. (WISH) — After stopping a car for what they say was a broken headlight, the Howard County Sheriff’s Office says they arrested Sidney Brown, 30, and Dakota Jourdan, 34.
During the traffic stop at the intersection of Sycamore Street and Berkley Road, the Howard County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy smelled marijuana. While searching the car, the deputy found methamphetamine and marijuana.
Brown was arrested without incident.
That investigation led deputies to more drugs at a home in the 600 block of North Dixon Road. They say two girls, one 11 and the other 9, were with Jourdan in the home.
Deputies searched the house and “heard what sounded like the slide of a handgun being racked,” the Sheriff’s Office says. The deputies then arrested Jourdan without incident.
Drugs, guns and ammunition, a scale and cash were found “unsecured and within close proximity to the children’s room.”
Both girls were put in the care of a family member after the arrests.
