A 38-year-old Three Rivers man is lodged in St. Joseph County Jail after Three Rivers Police recovered a “significant amount” of methamphetamine from his vehicle following a routine traffic stop Saturday.
At approximately 11:40 p.m. Saturday, January 29, officers stopped a vehicle for a civil infraction. During the course of the traffic stop officers became suspicious of the driver’s behavior and answers to their questions, so K9 Django was utilized to conduct a search of the exterior of the vehicle. During the search K9 Django alerted officers, leading to the discovery of a loaded pistol, a significant amount of methamphetamine, and other related narcotic items.
The driver was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and several other felony firearms violations. He is currently lodged in St. Joseph County Jail without bond.

“I’d ask that item H3 be removed from tonight’s agenda, given the timing and the need for additional review to ensure the commission has a full understanding of the longer-term implications,” City Manager Malcolm Hankins said. “Removing the item, I believe, is appropriate. It also effectively means non-acceptance of the grant at this time.”
Hankins’ comments were met with immediate applause from a packed commission chamber, where many residents had gathered to urge officials to reject the funding. This is the second time the item has been pulled from a commission agenda in recent weeks.
