At around 9:30 pm, UHP Trooper Englebright observed a vehicle traveling westbound on US-40 at mile marker 115 with a headlight out. A traffic stop was initiated, and the vehicle pulled off the highway.
The trooper approached the vehicle on the passenger side and explained the reason for the stop to the occupants. He asked for the driver's license, proof of insurance, and registration.
When the passenger opened the glove box, Trooper Englebright noticed a THC vape pen inside. The driver gave the trooper his license and vehicle information and was identified as 63-year-old Jordan Gilmore Bailey.
Trooper Englebright asked for the vape pen, and the passenger handed it to him. After confirming the pen was a marijuana product, the trooper explained to Jordan that he would be searching the vehicle and had all the occupants exit the vehicle.
While searching the vehicle, the trooper located a baggie containing a white crystal-like substance consistent with methamphetamine, several glass pipes containing burnt residue, two marijuana bongs, a grinder containing a green leafy substance consistent with marijuana, and a container full of small plastic baggies and unused glass pipes.
The two passengers in the vehicle with Jordan were teenage juveniles who were within reach of the illegal drugs. The meth was located in the center console of the vehicle and easily accessible.
Jordan was placed under arrest and searched, nothing was found on his person.
One of the teenager's mother arrived on scene and took the juvenile's home.
The vehicle was left in the Tractor Supply parking lot to be picked up at a later time.
After running Jordan's license through dispatch, it was discovered his license was suspended. He was then transported to the Uintah County Jail and booked in.
