ST. CLAIR COUNTY (WWJ) -- A drug bust in St. Clair County ended with an arrest Wednesday night after the suspect tried to destroy evidence.
According to Sheriff Mat King, members of the St. Clair County Drug Task Force (DTF) pursued an investigation into drug sales in the Capac area, which led to the surveillance of a suspect driving a vehicle in Emmett Township.
Officials pulled the car over in the area of Bryce and Connors roads at about 2 a.m. with help from the U.S. Border Patrol K-9 Division.
The suspect, a 33 year old man from Marysville and another occupant in the vehicle, attempted to destroy a quantity of crystal methamphetamine during the traffic stop, according to the DTF.
The officers then conducted a search of the vehicle, where they found and seized approximately $1,600 worth of crystal meth, digital scales, drug paraphernalia, ammunition and firearms magazines.
The suspect is lodged at the St. Clair County Jail and will face charges of possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine and destruction of evidence
