A traffic stop at around 11:25-p.m. Aug. 22nd in Bridgewater, resulted in the arrest of a Cass County man. The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports 35-year old Brian Harold Eilts, of Massena, was pulled over for failure to have license plates on his vehicle. As he approached the vehicle, the deputy recognized Eilts, and knew he had been barred from driving due to an earlier incident.

When Eilts exited his vehicle, the deputy noticed a broken glass pipe at Eilts’ feet. The man admitted it was a broken bong. After he was placed under arrest, a search of the vehicle was conducted, during which a broken glass pipe used for smoking meth, and a baggy of a white substance that appeared to be meth, was found. Eilts was taken into custody for Possession of a Controlled Substance/3rd or subsequent offense, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Driving While Barred. His bond was set at $5,000.
