SL Traffic Stop Results In Drug Charge

November 22, 2014


(Spirit Lake)—A traffic stop at the intersection of Highway 71 and 34th Street in Spirit Lake back on January 6th resulted in the arrest of an Okoboji man on a drug charge.

The Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy pulled over a vehicle driven by 39-year-old Ryan Dykstra for a traffic violation.

The department’s K-9 unit made an indication on the vehicle. A subsequent search turned up what’s alleged to be methamphetamine.

Dykstra was arrested and booked into the Dickinson county jail on a charge of possession of a controlled substance…a serious misdemeanor. He was later released after posting a $1,000 bond.

The Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Spirit Lake Police Department.
