Jennings County, IN – A routine check on a stranded motorist by Indiana State Police resulted in the arrest of a Greenwood man on felony drug and weapons charges. The incident occurred early Sunday morning when Troopers Randal Miller and Tyler Busch noticed a black Ford SUV stalled on US 50 near North Vernon, partially obstructing traffic.
According to the Indiana State Police Versailles Post, the vehicle’s driver, identified as 33-year-old Christopher Spall, declined assistance but allegedly appeared to be involved in drug activity.
