Pulaski County Sheriff Bobby Jones says a traffic stop resulted in the arrest of two people and the recovery of a stolen car. Deputy Tyler Pearson pulled over a car after noticing what appeared to be plastic over the license plate and the two people in the car not wearing seatbelts. The driver, 50-year-old Dana Calhoun, of Somerset, couldn’t provide proof of insurance and when police ran the VIN number through dispatch they found that the car had been reported stolen out of Lexington. During a search, deputies found multiple clear baggies of what was believed to be meth. Both Calhoun and passenger, 34-year-old Joshua Baker of Tateville, were taken into custody. Calhoun was charged with receiving stolen property, trafficking in a controlled substance, promoting contraband, tampering with physical evidence and several traffic offenses. Baker was charged with trafficking in a controlled substance and failure to wear a seatbelt. Both were lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center.
