On March 30, 2024. A Deputy from the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department noticed a vehicle parked at a closed tavern. Upon closer inspection, the deputy recognized the lone occupant of the vehicle as a man named Kyle and knew he was on probation. The deputy also had information that Kyle was trafficking methamphetamine, and it appeared as though he was possibly waiting for someone. The deputy conducted surveillance on Kyle for a long period of time as he sat in his vehicle. He reached into his back seat and brought what appeared to be a blue bag to the front with him and appeared to dig around the bag. Kyle then exited his vehicle and entered the Tavern. The Tavern had since opened after the deputy began surveillance. About an hour later, Kyle walked back out to his vehicle, and appeared to be "picking" at his face numerous times. Kyle then began driving and a traffic stop was conducted as his driving status was revoked due to having five previous OWI convictions. As the deputy approached the vehicle, he detected an odor of marijuana, and observed a needle in the driver's door handle. Kyle admitted to not having a valid drivers licence and exited the vehicle. A K-9 was called and deputies searched the vehicle. The needle in the door handle had a white crystal substance inside. On the driver’s seat, was a multicolored glass smoking device with a burnt green leafy substance inside. In the passenger seat was a blue bag containing plastic baggies with a white crystal substance that field-tested positive for methamphetamine. Furthermore, deputies located a plastic container labeled “Crazy Blue” that had a green leafy bud substance consistent with marijuana. There was a glass jar with a white crystal substance labeled THCA. Kyle agreed to do field sobriety tests and ended up being transported to the hospital for a blood draw after he admitted to ingesting “bud.” and “DABS”. At the hospital, Kyle stated that he had one beer while gambling at the Tavern and said he was planning on going back home. The deputy noted that Kyle was making eye contact with him during questioning, but when asked if he had drugs elsewhere, he broke eye contact, looked down, and shook his head no. Kyle was then transported to the Crawford County Jail and was informed of his charges.
