Atchison Co stop finds fentanyl; one arrested

(KAIR)--A vehicle stop for traffic infractions early Saturday, in Atchison County, leads to the alleged discovery of suspected fentanyl, and to the arrest of the 23-year-old driver on related charges.

That's according to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, who says a deputy stopped the vehicle, around 1:30 Saturday morning, for traffic infractions on 286th and Lincoln Roads.

The investigation led to the discovery of the suspected fentanyl, and other suspect items, and to the arrest of Arhianna Joel Franklin, of Atchison, who was taken into custody on charges for suspicion of driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, drug paraphernalia, and interference with law enforcement. Franklin was additionally arrested for an unrelated Atchison County District Court warrant for failure to appear.

Following her arrest, Franklin was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
