Following the initial stop, Deputy Marchione initiated a narcotics investigation, which led to the discovery of a white crystal-like substance that tested positive for methamphetamine. Lewis was also found in possession of a glass pipe commonly used for smoking methamphetamine.
Lewis was arrested and charged with Trafficking Amphetamine and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was transported to the Gilchrist County Jail.
