On May 21st Officer Ryan Yoder discovered an unregistered vehicle driving in the area of S Prince Street and W Farnum Street. Officer Yoder stopped the car and made contact with the driver, an adult man. During the course of the interaction, Officer Yoder noticed signs that there were drugs inside the car and found that the man was wanted through York County. The warrant, related to a prior arrest for illegally possessing a handgun, was verified and the man was arrested.
After the arrest, Officer Yoder discovered that the man had an empty handgun holster with him. Curious to why the holster was empty, and using all of his observations to that point, Officer Yoder was granted a search warrant for the car. Upon searching the car, Officer Yoder was able to locate the man’s illegally possessed handgun as well as his 32 grams of crack cocaine and drug packaging materials.
Thank you Officer Yoder for putting this dangerous individual behind bars as well as removing a handgun and $3,200 worth of drugs from our community!
