Two men stopped on Interstate 65 Tuesday were arrested after a traffic stop led to police finding more than eight pounds of suspected methamphetamine in their vehicle.

According to court records, a 2012 Nissan Rogue was stopped on I-65 around the 17-mile marker by Warren County Sheriff’s Office deputies for a traffic violation.

The vehicle was driven by Todd Dooley, 41, of Brooks, and was carrying Joshua Webster, 37, of Bowling Green.

According to an arrest citation, Webster was exhibiting nervous behavior while answering questions from law enforcement, and Webster and Dooley were asked to step out of the vehicle.

A Bowling Green-Warren County Drug Task Force detective arrived shortly after the stop occurred.

After both men refused to consent to officers performing a search of the vehicle, law enforcement used a drug-detecting dog around the outside of the car.

When the dog alerted to the rear passenger side door, police detained Dooley and Webster, and a subsequent search of the vehicle led to the discovery of 8 pounds, six ounces of suspected meth in eight bundles, suspected marijuana, 22 clonazepam pills and two handguns, one of which was confirmed to have been stolen, according to an arrest citation.

Both men denied ownership of the drugs and the guns.

Webster and Dooley were each charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (meth, firearm enhanced), convicted felon in possession of a handgun, receiving stolen property (firearm), possession of marijuana and third-degree possession of a controlled substance.

They appeared Wednesday in Warren District Court for arraignment.
