In the meantime, the driver of the vehicle, 31-year-old Josie E. Robbins of North Vernon, got out  of the vehicle and began to attempt to conceal more narcotics, police say. Robbins was also detained and the drugs were recovered.

Golden was taken to a medical provider to be checked out before being taken to jail on preliminary charges of Possession of Meth, marijuana and syringes, obstruction of justice and resisting law enforcement. Golden was also wanted on a Jennings County probation revocation warrant.
