On August 29, 2023, Narcotics Agents conducted a traffic stop resulting in the seizure of a trafficking amount of Methamphetamine as well as a trafficking amount of Fentanyl.

Agents conducted a traffic stop on Hwy 75 in Ider at Frankies Service station. During
the stop, the driver fled on foot leaving the passenger in the vehicle. Agents identified
the passenger as Scott William Haldane (49 of Ider) who was out on bond with prior
charges of Trafficking to include Fentanyl. Once additional Agents arrived, a search for
the driver was conducted but the driver was not found. Haldane was charged with
Trafficking in any Illegal Drug (x2), Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance,
Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Resisting Arrest. A search of the vehicle revealed over 60 grams of methamphetamine, 6 grams of Crack Cocaine, and 7 grams of powder Fentanyl as well as drug paraphernalia.

DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Welden said of the incident: “Drug addiction destroys
not only the addict but also the ones who love them. Our goal is to stop it before it
starts and that is why our Agents are out continuously working diligently in an attempt to
keep these dangerous drugs off the streets and out of the hands of our youth.”
“God Bless!” Concluded Sheriff Welden.
