Eaton County, MI – A routine traffic stop in Delta Township early Friday morning led to a drug arrest after deputies say they discovered methamphetamine and cash inside a vehicle.
According to the Eaton County Sheriff’s Office, the stop occurred at approximately 3:42 a.m. Friday when deputies assigned to the Delta Township Patrol Division pulled over a vehicle for a traffic violation. During the investigation, deputies allegedly located approximately 58 grams of methamphetamine along with $520 in cash.
Authorities say the driver was arrested and lodged at the Eaton County Jail on charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver and operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. No suspect name has been released as of Friday morning.
The sheriff’s office credited Delta Township patrol deputies for their work, noting the arrest stemmed from proactive overnight enforcement. Delta Township is located in Eaton County, just west of Lansing, and is part of the Mid-Michigan region.
Officials did not indicate whether additional charges may be filed or if the investigation is ongoing. The quantity of drugs recovered suggests the methamphetamine was not intended for personal use, according to law enforcement standards, though formal court proceedings will determine the outcome.
The Eaton County Sheriff’s Office regularly shares enforcement updates as part of its effort to highlight drug interdiction and impaired driving enforcement across the county.
