The officer initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle for no taillights on the trailer. During the subsequent investigation the officer located narcotics, narcotic paraphernalia, and a loaded AR-15 rifle inside the vehicle.

When the officer opened the trailer door, he located a trap door in the trailer which allowed the occupants to park their vehicle over the gas tanks, place a siphoning device into the tank and remove gas without being noticed. The trailer contained two (2) 55-gallon drums as well as numerous tools. The investigation is ongoing.

The Driver of the vehicle was identified as:
