Traffic stop leads to drug bust
On April 17, the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit initiated a traffic stop on a 2000 Ford Explorer in the township of Freeman. The deputy identified the occupants as Corinthian Jones, 36, La Crosse, Joseph White, 54, Onalaska, and Tanner Olson, 25, La Crosse.
The deputy ultimately searched the vehicle and located a bag belonging to Olson. The bag contained several used and unused hypodermic needles, crystal like substances and a plastic bag with crystal chunk substance, which later tested positive for methamphetamine. Olson was determined to be under the influence of methamphetamine. He was placed under arrest for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and felony bail jumping. Olson is on bond through Houston County, Minn., for several charges, including drug related charges.
