Washington County Sheriff’s Office reports a drug arrest following a traffic stop just after midnight on August 19.


A WCSO deputy conducted a traffic stop after observing a truck traveling on Wrights Creek Road with faulty equipment. As the deputy approached the driver, he immediately noticed behaviors and movements that were indicative of a person being under the influence of stimulants. 


As the deputy performed a pat down to ensure the occupants did not possess any weapons, the passenger, 20-year-old Austin Knight of Westville, attempted to grab an object in his pants pocket.  As the deputy located the object, he found it was a cigarette pack that contained a plastic bag with a crystal-like substance inside. 


The substance later tested positive for methamphetamine. 


Also located in Knight’s possession was a glass pipe and a straw that contained methamphetamine residue.


Knight was arrested and transported to the Washington County Jail where he was booked on the charge of possession of methamphetamine.
