(KNZA)--A Holton man was arrested Tuesday afternoon on drug and battery charges.

According to a news release from Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, deputies with the Sheriff’s Office arrested 28-year-old Hunter Dean Snyder for a parole violation in the 20000 block of U.S. Highway 75, south of Holton, just before 3:00.

Morse says a Jackson County drug detection K-9 alerted on Snyder's car, where deputies seized methamphetamine, hydrocodone and drug paraphernalia.

He says the encounter with Snyder also resulted in the investigation of an earlier altercation that allegedly occurred in Jackson County.

Snyder was booked into the Jackson County Jail on charges of possession of methamphetamine, hydrocodone and drug paraphernalia along with failure to have an interlock device and domestic battery.
