MONTGOMERY COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas man on drug allegations.
Just after 12:30p.m. Tuesday, sheriff's deputies responded to Montgomery County Road 3375 and U.S. Highway 75 near Independence, Kansas after a report of a blue car sitting in a field, according to Sheriff Ron Wade.
Deputies found 41-year-old Bradley Hall of Independence fishing in a pond near the car and learned he was trespassing on private property and was wanted on felony warrant in Oklahoma.
Deputies arrested Hall and then found he was in possession of over an ounce of meth, according to Wade. When deputies booked him into the Montgomery County Department of Corrections, investigators asked where he obtained the meth?
Hall told them he was simply fishing in the pond and stepped in muskrat hole. When he pulled his foot out he found the meth in the hole and put it in his boot to sold for profit later, according to Wade.
After 32-year in law enforcement, the sheriff said he'd never heard of finding meth in a muskrat hole. He thanked the caller who notified the sheriff's office of the suspicious vehicle in the field that allowed his deputies to take some meth out of the community.
