According to Sheriff Robert B. Radcliff, on August 27th Corporal Stephen Harger conducted a traffic stop that netted a sizeable amount of suspected methamphetamine, while he was working High Visibility Enforcement Overtime (HVEO).
Corporal Harger stopped a white Dodge truck for several traffic violations. Corporal Harger made contact with the driver, 49-year-old Heather M. Daniel of Bainbridge, and the two passengers, 47-year-old Robert S. Collins of Ironton and 31-year-old Christina M. Maynard of Waverly.
Corporal Harger then got them out of the vehicle so he could run his K9 partner Joris around the vehicle for a free air narcotics sniff. When Corporal Harger got out Christina Maynard out of the car he caught her attempting to stuff what turned out to be suspected Heroin down her pants. Corporal Harger handcuffed Christina Maynard and secured her in the back seat of his cruiser. Corporal Harger also caught Robert Collins stuffing things in his pockets. When Corporal Harger patted Robert Collins down he located close to a half of a gram of suspected methamphetamine in his wallet.
Deputy Robert Morningstar arrived on scene to assist with the traffic stop.
After Corporal Harger found the suspected methamphetamine in Robert Collins wallet he got Christina Maynard out of the cruiser to speak to her and he found that she tried to stuff well over 3 ounces of suspected methamphetamine under the seat of his cruiser.
Both Robert Collins and Christina Maynard were transported to the Pickaway County Jail. Robert Collins was charged with Possession of Sch I Drugs (F-5). Christina Maynard was charged Trafficking in Sch I Drugs (F-2), Possession of Sch I Drugs (F-2), Tampering with Evidence (F-3) and Possession of Heroin (F-4).
