A traffic stop in Miami County late Sunday night resulted in two arrests.

Indiana State Police say a trooper made a stop on a pickup truck along US 31, just south of Rochester, that was making unsafe lane movements. During the stop, the trooper was notified that two of the occupants in the vehicle, 46-year old Gary Gagnon of Akron and 58-year old Dennis Schroder of Star City, were wanted on separate arrest warrants.

Further investigation led to a search of the truck, in which officers allegedly found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Both were taken to the Miami County Jail and are now also facing drug charges in addition to their warrants.

52-year old Eric Day of Warsaw, a third occupant of the truck, was issued a summon to appear for possession of paraphernalia.
