CLOVERDALE -- A traffic stop for following too closely Friday afternoon ultimately resulted in two Ohio women arrested on methamphetamine charges.

Indiana State Police reportedly located 15 pounds of methamphetamine in the car during the stop occurring seven miles east of Cloverdale.

A traffic stop was initiated and during the stop, several indicators of possible criminal activity were detected. A K-9 unit was called and a free air sniff was conducted resulting in a positive alert for narcotics.

A subsequent search of the vehicle yielded 15 pounds of suspected methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $30,000. The methamphetamine was individually vacuum sealed into 14 plastic bags.

The women arrested were 23-year-old Brooklyn Wagner and 26-year-old Kortinee Glenn, both of Springfield, Ohio.

It was not immediately known which woman was driving the vehicle.

They were each booked in the Putnam County Jail on charges of dealing methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine.
