Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office charged an out-of-county man with possession of drugs, and drug paraphernalia following a traffic stop in Lakeview about 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Nicholas Manning, 23, of Ottawa, was a passenger in a vehicle stopped by deputies at the Lakeview Fuel Stop, 11343 State Route 235, Lakeview, because of a missing light above the license plate.
Deputies searched the vehicle after it was discovered the driver, Brian Messnard of Lima, was operating a vehicle under suspension and had a recorded history of possession of drug offenses.
That search turned up suspected hashish and a vaporizer pen used to smoke and inhale the drug.
Manning was charged with possession of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia and issued a summons. Messnard was cited for driving under suspension and both suspects were released to a valid driver.
Bar fight results in disorderly conduct charges
Jeffery Burton, 57, of Wapakoneta, was charged with disorderly conduct following an incident in the early morning hours Sunday at Brother’s Bar, 11977 State Route 235, Lakeview.
Deputies responded to the bar about 2:30 a.m. Sunday and were told the suspect had just fled the scene in his vehicle. Deputies eventually caught up with the suspect and initiated a traffic stop on County Road 88 just past U.S. Route 33.
The suspect was charged with disorderly conduct after he admitted to having “started a scuffle” with another man he believed was out with his wife at the bar.
The suspect’s wife told deputies that she believed Burton had placed a GPS tracking device on her vehicle, and that is how he found her at the bar.
Burton was transported and lodged in Logan County Jail.
