(KAIR)--A Tuesday evening Atchison traffic stop, initiated by police and assisted by the Sheriff's Office, led to the arrest of an Atchison man who now faces drug-related charges.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says 57-year-old Martin Winfield was taken into custody at the scene of the stop, the 500 block of South 5th Street, arrested on charges for possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

According to Wilson, Winfield's vehicle was stopped by an officer around 6:45 Tuesday evening due to an alleged traffic violation.

During the stop, an Atchison County Sheriff's Deputy was on-site with a K-9, which, Wilson says, "alerted to the presence of a controlled substance," leading to the discovery of what's alleged to be "a smoking device containing methamphetamine" inside the vehicle.

Once in custody, Winfield was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
