(KAIR)--A Hiawatha man is facing charges in Atchison County, arrested Wednesday on drug-related charges after he was found by police, allegedly asleep behind the wheel, while stopped in traffic. 

A release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says Kyle White, arrested around 1:45 Wednesday morning, now faces charges for possession of fentanyl and drug paraphernalia, along with driving while suspended. 

The arrest of the 32-year-old White came after an officer on patrol saw "a vehicle stopped in the lane of traffic" in the 900 block of U.S. Highway 59, and then found White allegedly "asleep or passed out." 

An investigation at the scene, Wilson says, allegedly "resulted in the discovery of fentanyl and drug paraphernalia in White’s possession and in the vehicle." 

Following his arrest, White was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
