Sheriff’s officials in Guthrie County say a traffic stop early Sunday morning on Highway 4 resulted in the driver arrested on drug charges.  Deputies stopped a vehicle driven by Mark Edward Dugan, II, of Carroll, at around 1-a.m.  During the course of the traffic stop, Dugan was found to allegedly be in possession of a small amount of methamphetamine and marijuana. He was also found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia. Dugan was taken into custody on three drug charges: Possession of Methamphetamine 1st Offense, Possession of Marijuana 1st Offense and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. The man was released the following morning after an appearance before the magistrate.

And, the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office filed an additional charge Sunday, against 37-yearold David Michael Cannon, of Grand Junction, for Aiding and Abetting – 28-year old Jesse Lynn Crawford, of rural Jamaica. Cannon was charged with assisting Crawford in the commission of possessing marijuana as a third offense.

The charges arise from the August 30th incident in which Crawford was arrested on numerous charges for assaulting Deputy Kent Gries and possessing a large quantity of methamphetamine and 5.8 grams of marijuana. Cannon had already been charged with possessing a dangerous weapon from the incident on August 30th.
