Detectives of the Logan County Unified Drug Task Force report two passengers were arrested Friday for charges that include possession of heroin during a traffic stop in the city.
Steven Jeanneret, 26, of Huntsville, and Gage Rollins, 18, of Bellefontaine, each were taken into custody and lodged in the Logan County Jail.
Detectives reportedly observed Jeanneret, who was wanted by the Logan County Adult Parole Authority, riding in a vehicle on north Main Street in Bellefontaine, and a traffic stop was initiated by a deputy of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office.
Jeanneret was placed under arrest, and Rollins also was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant.
A consent search was executed on the vehicle. On the back floor board, where Rollins had been sitting, a clear plastic baggie containing a white powder substance was located. Inside a backpack, detectives located personal items of Jeanneret and two plastic baggies containing a white powdery substance.
Detectives are continuing their investigation and additional charges are possible.
