A 38-year-old man is facing drug charges after he was seen in a vehicle that had no license plates.
An officer with the Manitowoc Police Department watched the vehicle exit the parking lot at the Marathon gas station on Washington Street at around 1:45 PM yesterday (May 10th), and began to follow them on South 19th Street.
The driver darted into traffic but the officer saw them turn onto South 20th Street and located the vehicle at Saucy’s Bar.
With help from the Metro Drug Unit, watched at the two men that were in the vehicle walked back to the gas station, and were picked up by another individual.
The officer pulled the vehicle over as he saw that the passenger did not have his seatbelt on, and conducted a search of the three men.
One of the men was found to be in possession of a glass smoking device, a vaping device with THC in it, and several baggies of drugs in an Altoid tin.
The two other men were released, but the 38-year-old was charged with Possession of Fentanyl, Methamphetamine, THC, and Drug Paraphernalia.
