Drugs, gun found during traffic stop

An Arkansas State Police trooper early Thursday arrested a Jacksonville man who had drugs and a gun in his vehicle, according to an arrest report.

The driver, Zackary Posey, 40, told the trooper that his license was suspended as well, and when the trooper asked to search the vehicle, Posey said he had meth in the car, the report says.

A search located a backpack containing meth, marijuana and a loaded pistol as well as a glass pipe, according to the report.

He was being held Thursday night in the Pulaski County jail on a $10,000 bond, an online inmate roster showed.
