He conducted a traffic stop on Hwy. 79 at Fanning Branch Road, the driver was identified as Mr. Dustin Tyler Blair Sasser. A check of Mr. Sasser’s license revealed an active warrant and he was detained for Holmes County.

During the stop, K-9 Titan was deployed and positively alerted on the vehicle, indicating the presence of narcotics. The registered owner of the vehicle, identified as Ms. Jennifer Lynn Bau, was a passenger in the vehicle.

After a search of the vehicle, the deputy observed a clear baggie lying on the highway, the contents of which were field tested and gave a positive result for methamphetamine.
