WYANDOTTE — The driver of a blue Mercury whose vehicle license plate indicated that he did not have insurance was arrested for possession of cocaine the night of April 18, in the 800 block of Fourth Street, and his vehicle impounded and towed.
The driver tried to evade the officer by pulling into a bar parking lot, but was pulled over when he tried to surreptitiously leave the lot using another exit.
When the traffic stop was initiated, the man threw an object out the window, and denied doing so. The police officer called for backup, and was later able to recover a folded lottery ticket with a powdery substance, which tested positive for cocaine.
The man was taken into custody, searched, booked and held.
