Two Frankfort residents received charges for possession of cocaine following a traffic stop for speeding that resulted in implementation of
two warrants.
On Saturday, March 23 just before 5:30 p.m., Frankfort Police Department Lieutenant Josh Ruben reportedly observed a vehicle exceeding the posted speed limit in the area of 2600 W. State Rd. 28 in Frankfort. After a roadside investigation alongside K9 Officer Beau Smith and K9 Apollo, Anay Tapia-Escobar, 21, of Frankfort and Jorge Medina-Morales, 21, of Frankfort were reportedly arrested.
Authorities reported that the investigation resulted in a new charge for both individuals, a Level 3 Felony possession of cocaine greater than 28 grams charge filed by the Clinton County Prosecutor’s Office. According to police, Medina-Morales also had two active Failure to Appear warrants, and Tapia-Escobar was arrested by officers on Jan. 8 for violating probation from a previous narcotics arrest.
The department released that both individuals were released on bond for the new cases.
