Fort Wayne, IN (WOWO): State Troopers from the Fort Wayne Post patrolling I-69 in Huntington County late Monday night arrested three men on felony drug charges after a routine traffic stop resulted in seizure of a large amount of drugs and money as well as a handgun.

Sergeant Brian Walker tells WOWO News that Sergeant Kris Coffey stopped the vehicle on I-69 just south of Markle for speeding. During that stop, Trooper Tyson Waldron and K-9 Zeus were brought in to search the vehicle. The dog immediately alerted to the inside of the vehicle. A search revealed an estimated two pounds of methamphetamine, 1/2 gram of cocaine, a loaded 9-millimeter handgun and over $2,000 in cash.
