Drug Arrest In Rossville

From the Rossville Police Facebook page:
      October 14th 2017 near US 24 & Main in Rossville at approximately 11pm: The on duty Rossville Officer witnessed a U-Haul truck drive into a local convenience store with a male driver. After leaving the store a few minutes later, the truck committed a minor traffic infraction and was stopped. The individual driving at that time was a female with no license who was also a registered offender for felony narcotics distribution. The male who had been driving was in the center passenger seat; he had a suspended license. 
      Upon having both subjects exit the truck, the officer saw the male had a partially concealed handgun on his hip and a methamphetamine pipe sticking out of his shoe. Both subjects were detained along with the third passenger. A Silver Lake Police Officer and a Shawnee County Sheriff’s Deputy were both called to assist as backup. 
      Further investigation revealed the male driver was in possession of marijuana, methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia. A loaded .40 caliber Glock handgun was taken into evidence as well. The male driving suspect was arrested and transported to the Shawnee County Jail where he was booked in on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges including Criminal Possession of a Firearm. The other two individuals were released on the scene and soon obtained a ride out of town. 
      The truck was held for U-Haul who sent a wrecker to retrieve it as the individual who had rented it had been arrested.
