Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrested a Warsaw man on drug charges Sunday after locating 11 pounds of marijuana in the trunk of a vehicle.
KCSD deputies were advised of a “rolling” domestic occurrence Sunday at approximately 6 p.m. in the area of CR 200N and Bell Drive, on the north side of Warsaw.
KCSD deputy Jim Smith responded to the area and immediately located the described vehicle as it was turning off the roadway and into a driveway.
The driver, identified as Travis James Johnson, 35, of 312 N. Sherman St., Warsaw, exited the vehicle and was questioned by Smith on the domestic complaint.
During the interview, it was determined that Johnson’s driver’s license was suspended. As Smith began to pat Johnson for weapons, he noted a bag of green leafy substance, later determined to be marijuana.
The vehicle Johnson had been driving was impounded, and during the inventory deputies located a bag containing more marijuana as well as portable digital scales. Further inventory of the vehicle’s trunk produced a large package containing approximately 11.4 pounds of marijuana.
Johnson was arrested and preliminarily charged with intent to deal marijuana and driving while suspended/prior. He is currently being held without bond by the Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office at the Kosciusko County Jail.
