SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. — An investigation is underway after illicit drugs were found inside a car in South Haven on Tuesday.
The Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office (VBCSO) says they surveyed a 22-year-old man whom they suspected of trafficking illegal drugs, prompting a traffic stop.
We’re told the man potentially committed a handful of traffic violations.
Deputies say the car was towed and the man’s passenger, a 20-year-old woman, was let go.
K9 Kuno alerted deputies to narcotics inside the vehicle during a search, according to VBCSO.
The resulting search warrant turned up 21 fentanyl pills disguised as OxyContin, authorities say. Cocaine was also discovered, as was a Glock with an extended magazine.
The case remains under investigation. Deputies expect a report will be submitted to the prosecutor’s office for pending charges after the investigation is finished.
