(Ruthven)– A traffic stop Saturday evening landed a Ruthven man in jail on drug charges.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy pulled over a vehicle driven by 25-year-old Ryan Stearns of Ruthven around 8:00 p.m. Saturday.
A subsequent license check resulted in authorities discovering Stearns had been driving without a valid driver’s license. Stearns was arrested and a search of the vehicle was conducted. It turned up methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and lithium batteries.
Stearns was charged with possession of a controlled substance–methamphetamine; possession of precursors–lithium; possession of drug paraphernalia and failure to have a valid driver’s license.
Stearns was booked into the Clay county jail on bond of 22,750-dollars.
