A Washington man faces several charges following a traffic stop in Pike County.
On Saturday afternoon around 3:25 pm, Indiana State Police was patrolling I-69 in Pike County when a trooper observed a black Dodge Charger traveling north at 87 mph in the 70-mph zone.
The trooper stopped the vehicle and identified the driver as 31-year-old Kyle R. Horstman of Washington.
The trooper says that while talking to Horstman, he detected the odor of burnt marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. The officer also observed a syringe on the passenger side floorboard.
