According to law enforcement, when deputies asked the driver for proof of insurance, he allegedly opened the car’s console and deputies noticed what appeared to be a bag of meth. The driver and passenger also allegedly had active felony warrants for their arrests.

“A Kearney PD K-9 did respond to assist at our request for the nearest available narcotics detection K-9,” said Sarah Boyd, the sheriff’s office PR manager.

Upon search of the car, deputies allegedly located 20 grams of suspected meth, multiple checks, passports and credit cards in different people’s names along with other evidence of theft and identity theft.

According to the sheriff’s office, none of the credit cards or checks belonged to the driver or passenger.

More on suspects and charges will be published as details become available.
