OSAGE COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect on drug charges after an unusual traffic stop.

Just before 11a.m. Friday, an Osage County Sheriff’s Deputy received a call from a citizen who reported a subject who appeared to be using narcotics while driving, according to Sheriff Chris Wells.

Shortly later, the deputy contacted the driver identified as 31-year-old Levi N. Ludwick near Overbrook.

During the encounter, the deputy located narcotics and arrested Ludwick of Auburn and transported him to the Osage County Jail Facility on requested charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

"This was a great example of “if you see something, say something," according to Wells.
