A traffic stop led to the arrest of two individuals for possession of a controlled substance in south Beatrice Monday morning. Knowing that Rivers’ license was suspended, the officer followed the vehicle eastbound on Bell until it turned south on 8th Street before initiating a traffic stop. During the traffic stop, the officer reportedly learned that Bishop also had a suspended license before requesting a k-9 free air sniff be conducted on the vehicle. Rivers and Bishop were transported to the Gage County Detention Center, where a second bag of meth was found on Bishop’s person. Both were charged with possession of a controlled substance, with Rivers also being charged for driving under suspension.
