(KAIR)--A traffic stop leads to an arrest, and the driver is now facing charges, including possession of methamphetamine.
Taken into custody Friday evening was 39-year-old Eugene Simpson.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News the Atchison resident was stopped while driving a pickup truck, at 14th and Commercial Streets around 6:00 Friday evening.
Originally stopped for speeding, Wilson says the officer determined that Simpson was driving on a suspended license, and that led to his arrest.
Once he was in custody, Wilson says it was discovered that Simpson was in possession of meth and drug paraphernalia.
He now faces charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, speeding, and driving while suspended.
Following his arrest, Simpson was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
