The Manitowoc Police pulled a man over late last Friday evening and ended up finding meth in his vehicle. An officer noticed that a vehicle traveling on South 10th Street had a loud exhaust. He followed the vehicle to the Marathon gas station on Washington Street and initiated a traffic stop after the vehicle pulled out of the station. The man cooperated with the officer, telling him his name, and that he was aware that the exhaust was too loud, but the vehicle did not belong to him. A citation was issued for the exhaust, but since the vehicle was registered to a known drug house, a K-9 unit was called to search the vehicle. The search uncovered a baggie of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. The man was arrested and is being charged with felony possession of meth, possession of drug paraphernalia, and misdemeanor bail jumping.
