LEWISBURG W.Va. (WVDN) — A routine traffic stop in Lewisburg led to a significant drug seizure late Saturday night, according to authorities.

According to a press release, on June 1, at approximately 11 p.m., Patrolman M. Blankenship, along with Corporal J.A. Vance of the Lewisburg Police Department, conducted a traffic stop on a silver Nissan Versa along Grand Avenue within the Lewisburg city limits. The stop escalated when K-9 Unit, Corporal J.T. Williams II, and K-9 “Kora,” along with Sergeant D.B. Eggleston, were dispatched to the scene.

During the investigation, officers received a positive K-9 indication for the presence of drugs, prompting a thorough vehicle search. The search yielded a significant amount of narcotics. Specifically, police found 66.9 grams of Fentanyl, 6.75 grams of Methamphetamine and 2.94 grams of Marijuana. Additionally, $1,324.64 in U.S. Currency, a Taurus 9mm firearm, and scales were confiscated from the suspects.

The following individuals were charged in connection with the incident: Brandon Joice Clark, 36, of Ronceverte, was charged with Persons Prohibited from Possessing Firearms, a felony. Paula Jean Matney, 44, of Dunbar, was charged with Possession with Intent to Deliver, a felony. Christopher Lee Lyons, 41, of Ronceverte, was charged with Possession with Intent to Deliver, a felony.

Patrolman Makenna Blankenship is credited as the arresting officer in this investigation, according to the press release from Deputy Chief J.D. Hughes of the Lewisburg Police Department.

This seizure underscores the diligent efforts of law enforcement in combatting the distribution of illicit substances within our community. The Lewisburg Police Department continues to prioritize the safety and well-being of its citizens through proactive measures and enforcement actions.
