One person arrested following drug bust in Missouri

MISSOURI — A Dixon man was taken into custody Monday after authorities found him unconscious in his vehicle with drugs and a weapon nearby, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Troopers assisted Pulaski County officials in arresting Kyle R. Cross for delivery of a controlled substance.

When law enforcement arrived, they found Cross passed out inside the vehicle with a rifle within reach.

A search of the vehicle led deputies to find a box of ammunition in Cross’s pocket and a glass pipe containing narcotics residue.

According to court documents, a large baggie filled with a crystal-like substance was also discovered in the center console.

Cross reportedly told deputies the baggie contained salt and said he had paid $175 for it, though he did not believe it was methamphetamine.

However, field testing confirmed the substance was meth, authorities said.

Cross was charged with possession of a controlled substance and unlawful use of a weapon. He was booked into the Pulaski County Jail and is being held on a $50,000 bond.
