Traffic stop leads to Carthage man's arrest for meth possession


Felony methamphetamine charges were filed in Jasper County Circuit Court against a Carthage man today after the Jasper County Sheriff's Office arrested him during a traffic stop this morning on MO 43.

According to the probable cause statement, a deputy pulled Jonathan P. Plummer (DOB 1981) over after he ran a stop sign at Gum Road and State Highway.







Plummer told the deputy he had "dope" in his pocket and when asked what "dope" was, he answered "meth."

A clear baggie of meth was found his pocket.

In addition to the meth charge, Plummer was cited for failing to stop at a stop sign and for not maintaining financial responsibility.

Bond was set at $10,000 cash or surety.
