BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY, Ind. (WISH) – Two people were arrested following a Bartholomew County traffic stop Saturday.

According to the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office, a vehicle driven by 32-year-old Tori Adams was pulled over in the 9000 block of Friendship Drive just after 11 p.m. on Feb. 8.

During the traffic stop, the deputy saw a blue digital scale with white residue. Additionally, a K-9 officer indicated the possible presence of narcotics in the vehicle.
