Troopers seize handgun and $4,627 worth of methamphetamine, marijuana and hashish in Hancock County

FINDLAY – Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers filed felony drug charges against an Ohio man after a traffic stop in Hancock County. During the traffic stop, troopers seized 18 grams of methamphetamine, 374 grams of marijuana and 13 grams of hashish worth $4,627 along with a 9mm handgun.

On January 11, at 8:17 p.m., troopers stopped a 2011 Chevy Cruze with Ohio registration for a speed violation on Interstate 75. Criminal indicators were observed and a Findlay Police Department drug-sniffing canine alerted to the vehicle. A probable cause search revealed the contraband.

The passenger, Kody Michael Osborne, age 23, of Napoleon, was incarcerated in the Hancock County Justice Center and charged with possession of methamphetamine, a third-degree felony; carrying concealed weapons, a fourth-degree felony; and possession of marijuana and hashish, both fifth-degree felonies.

If convicted, he could face up to six years in prison and up to a $20,000 fine.
