A man is in jail on drug charges after a traffic stop early this morning in the Town of Sherman, New York.
Chautauqua County Sheriff’s deputies say at just before 1:30 they stopped a motorcycle after seeing a violation and, when the driver got off the bike, he threw a backpack into the weeds. When deputies recovered the backpack, they found that it had a large quantity of methamphetamine and marijuana in it.
They say 41-year-old Gary Hannold of Bemus Point also had drug paraphernalia with him.
He was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal use of drug paraphernalia, and criminal possession of marijuana.
