The Izard County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of a man on multiple charges. 

Court documents filed on Jan. 30 show Arkansas State Police Trooper Blake Johnson observed a grey Jeep Cherokee traveling without a license plate on State Highway 69 in Mount Pleasant. 

Trooper Johnson initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and required the female driver to provide documents on the vehicle. 

The trooper also requested a vehicle passenger, 44-year-old Robert Davis, to provide identification. 

Davis complied with the request and told Trooper Johnson that he had warrants in Independence County, AR.

Trooper Johnson then conducted a frisk of Davis, who disclosed that he had a pipe. 

When asked what kind of pipe, Davis said it was used for meth. 

He handed a cigarette pack that contained a glass smoking device. 

Davis was taken to the Izard County Detention Center in Melbourne. 

While processing the evidence, Trooper Johnson discovered a small, folded piece of paper inside the cigarette pack. 

The piece of paper contained a white crystalline substance. 

A detention officer found a hypodermic needle in Davis’ pocket. 

At a later date, the crystalline substance was tested and produced a positive result for methamphetamine. 

Davis is charged with felony furnishing a prohibited article, felony possession of methamphetamine, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. 

He was given no bond.
