Indiana State Police conducted a traffic stop for a traffic violation on State Road 26 near Interstate 65 Wednesday.  The driver was identified as 33-year-old Mahlon Justice of West Lafayette. During the course of the stop, a Trooper observed indicators of possible criminal activity. He requested the assistance of a Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Department K-9, which gave a positive indication for the presence of narcotics inside the vehicle.A subsequent search resulted in the discovery of suspected methamphetamine, hypodermic syringes, and a firearm.  The stop also led the trooper to believe that Justice was operating the vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance. Justice was taken into custody and transported to the Tippecanoe County Jail.
