WARSAW — A traffic stop near Milford tipped off Indiana State Police to possible illegal activity and resulted hours later in a drug bust in Warsaw.
The motorist, 35-year-old Luis Lara-Macias, of Warsaw, was stopped on SR 15 near CR 1350N, which led to the discovery of $65,000 in cash.
That led to the search of the suspect’s residence on East CR 300N in Warsaw about eight hours later with the assistance of officers from Kosciusko County’s NET43 drug task force.
Troopers then found three ounces of suspected cocaine, a digital scale, fraudulent identification cards, a rifle, two handguns, and more money.
Lara-Macias was taken to the Kosciusko County Jail on a preliminary charge of money laundering, a Level 4 Felony.
