On March 23, the Responding Officer (R/O) and Officer Adam Watson were conducting speed enforcement operations on Eden Terrace. Watson noticed a car with no tag and initiated a traffic stop. The R/O approached the vehicle and asked the driver for his license, registration and proof of insurance.
The driver provided his license with no registration or proof of insurance. The R/O ran the license through NCIC. The results showed that he was wanted in Chester County for failure to appear on drug charges. The R/O called his supervisor, Sergeant Michael Reid, and explained the situation.
Reid confirmed with Chester County that the driver was still wanted. The R/O then detained the driver, read him his Miranda rights, and due to further questioning from the officers on the scene, frisked the driver. The driver denied consent for the officers to search his vehicle but did state there was a methamphetamine glass pipe in the vehicle.
The R/O searched the vehicle and found the glass pipe with residue in a small black box in the glove compartment. The R/O finished searching the vehicle, and the glass pipe with residue was seized and placed in an evidence bag.
The vehicle was towed by Interstate Towing, and the driver was transferred to the custody of a Chester County Sheriff’s Office deputy. The seized glass pipe with residue will be sent to the York County Sheriff’s Office for testing.
