A Fulton man led deputies to a half-pound of methamphetamine stashed in his truck Monday, according to court documents.
Lance M. Stout was charged Tuesday in Callaway County with drug trafficking and felony possession after the Monday night traffic stop. Stout was pulled over in his F-150 on Highway 54 for speeding in a construction zone and crossing the center line, according to a probable cause statement.
Stout told investigators that he had about a half-pound of meth in the rear passenger floorboard, the statement says. Stout also had digital scales and several plastic baggies, investigators say.
Stout also told deputies that he sold large amounts of methamphetamine in Boone, Callaway and Cole counties.
Stout is being held in the Callaway County Jail on no bond. He is seeking a public defender, according to court records.
A bond hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.
