KOKOMO, Ind. -- A traffic stop Tuesday night led to the arrests of two men and the seizure of $38,000 worth of cocaine, police said.

Officers pulled over a vehicle occupied by Travis Lee Miller, 18, and Anthony Marshall, 26, both of Chicago, just after 8:30 p.m.

During a search of the car, police found about three-quarters of a pound of cocaine and a small amount of marijuana, Kokomo police Lt. Don Whitehead said.

Yes I agree! I happen to know the Officers personally, one is in his rookie year. I am very proud of our men. Great job Officers Chad Vancamp and Adam Martin.

Kudos and a Big Thanks to the officers who found these people.

Traffic Stop Nets $38K Worth of Cocaine

Thanks for the heads-up on this, Army! Did the Tribune bother to print a story about it?

Uhhh!!! Let me see. 8:30pm was when they got stopped. By the time they got them processed and the paper work done it might have been a little to late for the deadline. Anything else you want to complain about.

It was a nice job by those officers.

Should have been on the web site sometime today.

Still, I'm looking forward to Fletcher's story on it.

... and it was a very nice job by those officers!

Fantastic job by these two patrol officers, way to go! Keep up those types of busts and we can win the local war on drugs.
I do have one concern about the tribune article? If "wonderboy" James Lushin "knew" there were "two trips a week"?,Why didn't he fix this before now? Could him running for a public office and this "credit/bust recognition" be getting in the way here?
I am glad the drugs did not make it to distribution destination but I question James always knowing/ telling what he knew about after the facts come out??? Someone in the office called this person "Glory Hound".

You can quit bitching now.

I think the main point here is this story did get some large area coverage and it's very positive.

Once again officers of the KPD have performed admirably, helping to bring back the creditability of this fine department.

We don't see Howard County K-9 program doing anything in the tribune. I hear all their K-9 guys went to the army or something like that.
