INDIANA — Two people were arrested after a state trooper discovered 15 grams of suspected fentanyl during a traffic stop on Interstate 70 earlier this month, according to the Indiana State Police (ISP).
ISP said a Wayne County dispatcher received a report on August 7 of a red vehicle hitting a guardrail on I-70 westbound near the 150-mile marker. The vehicle continued west until a trooper located it near the 146-mile marker.
The trooper found both the driver and passenger unconscious inside the vehicle.
The driver, identified as Justin Dawson, 45, was arrested on several preliminary charges, including a felony count of possession of a narcotic drug. The passenger, Roxanne Steele, 43, was also arrested on a preliminary felony count of possession of a narcotic drug.
The suspected fentanyl was seized and sent to the ISP laboratory for analysis. The incident remains under investigation.
