TRAFFIC STOP NETS DRUG ARRESTS
Amherst – Amherst Police arrested two men Monday night after they discovered a large amount of Heroin and Cocaine in their car.
An Amherst Police Officer stopped a car on Route 2 Monday night for traffic violations and vehicle defects. The driver, 28 year old Michael Tarter of Cleveland, informed the Officer that he did not have a valid driver’s license, which the Officer later confirmed. Tarter was placed under arrest and several “indicators of criminal activities” were observed by the Officer according to Police.
Due to these indicators, Officer Soto from the Lorain Police Department and his K-9 J.B. were contacted to conduct a “sniff” of the vehicle. K-9 J.B. alerted on the rear area of the vehicle. A subsequent search revealed over 140 unit doses of Heroin as well as over 40 grams of Cocaine.
Tarter was charged with Failure to Signal a Turn, Fictitious Plates, Driving Under Suspension, Possession of Cocaine, Possession of Heroin, Trafficking in Heroin, Trafficking in Cocaine, Possession of Criminal Tools, and Drug Paraphernalia. His bond was $54,000.00.
