(Spencer)– Drug charges have been filed against an Albert City juvenile as the result of a traffic stop early Monday in Clay county.
The Sheriff’s Office says a deputy pulled over a vehicle driven by the 16-year-old shortly before 2:00 a.m. on Clay county road M-54. Authorities say a subsequent search of the vehicle by a K9 Unit turned up quantities of methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
The juvenile, who’s name hasn’t been released, was taken into custody and was transported to the Clay county jail where he was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver-methamphetamine…a class “C” felony; possession of a controlled substance-marijuana…a serious misdemeanor; and possession of drug paraphernalia…a simple misdemeanor.
The juvenile was released to the custody of his parents on a citation to appear in juvenile court at a later date.
Clay county authorities say their investigation continues and more arrests are expected.
