Dallas man arrested by Howe PD after dropping glass meth pipe on ground

On July 9, 2015 at approximately 10pm, Howe Police Officer Robert Todd stopped a 29-year-old Dallas man on Us Hwy 75 near exit 53 for a traffic violation. After noticing that the man was overly nervous, Officer Todd had him step out of his vehicle. As he was getting out, he dropped a glass methamphetamine pipe to the ground. When Officer Todd attempted to frisk the man for weapons, the man actively resisted and had to be physically forced to the ground. He was eventually handcuffed. A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed approximately one ounce of methamphetamine. Officers from Tom Bean and Van Alstyne responded to the scene of the stop and assisted. The suspect was charged with Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance PG 1 > 4 grams, Resisting Arrest, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was also arrested on an outstanding Grand Prairie warrant for Theft.
