A 27-year-old Arnold man was arrested for alleged possession of a substance believed to be methamphetamine. He was arrested at 4:54 p.m. April 8 after he was pulled over in the 3600 block of the West Outer Road for an alleged traffic violation, Arnold Police reported.
An officer spotted the 1983 Dodge pickup with an Illinois license plate on the front of the pickup and a Missouri car dealer’s license plate on the back. The dealer’s plate had been reported stolen from Twin City Toyota, 301 Autumn Ridge Drive, in Herculaneum, the report said.
