A Thursday afternoon traffic stop on I-65 near Seymour led to the discovery of methamphetamine and the arrests of three people.

Indiana State Police (ISP) Spokesman Sgt. Stephen Wheeles says that at

approximately 12:47 p.m., Trp. Randel Miller conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle headed south on the interstate near the 51 mile marker. While speaking with the driver, 55-year-old Carl Eugene Rice, of Texas, the Trooper became suspicious of possible criminal activity. Trp.
