WARSAW — A traffic stop by an Indiana State Trooper on US 30 in Warsaw led to the discovery of three kilos of suspected cocaine and the arrest of a Fort Wayne man Thursday afternoon.

The arrest came at approximately 3:27 p.m. when an Indiana State Trooper observed a moving violation on a black 2007 BMW SUV as it traveled eastbound on US 30 in Kosciusko County.

A traffic stop was made near the intersection of US 30 and CR 150W.  During the traffic stop, a K-9 from the Warsaw Police Department performed a free-air sniff and provided a positive alert to the odor of narcotics in the BMW.

A subsequent search of the BMW revealed three kilos of suspected cocaine and $3,000 in cash.

The driver of the BMW, Jarvis Buchanan, 44, of Fort Wayne, was arrested for possession of cocaine, a level 3 felony, and taken to the Kosciusko County Jail.
