While walking toward the vehicle during the stop, the officer saw the plate upside down in the back window. In checking for warrants, dispatch found there was one against the man for failure to pay child support.
The officer took the man into custody and brought him to the Laramie County Detention Center, where the officer spotted a blue M-30 pill in the backseat of his patrol vehicle after removing the man. The pill was suspected fentanyl, the document states.
