Police: Traffic stop nets drugs, ammo

By The Herald Staff

An Ottawa man was expected to appear before a judge today after a traffic stop resulted in his arrest on drug-related charges.

Dustin Thomas Markus, 31, was arrested Wednesday evening in Ottawa on suspicion of drug-related offenses, criminal use of a weapon and endangering a child.

A detective attempted to stop Markus for traffic violations when the vehicle apparently attempted to elude the detective, Franklin County Sheriff Craig Davis said. Another law enforcement officer intercepted the vehicle at Seventh and Cedar streets, Davis said.

Officers found a small amount of what appeared to be marijuana, drug paraphernalia, a substance believed to be methamphetamine and ammunition in the vehicle, Davis said.

Another adult and a 14-year-old girl also were in the vehicle, he said.

Markus was arrested on suspicion of endangering a child, criminal use of a weapon, possession of drugs with intent to sell, no drug tax stamp and possession of drug paraphernalia.
