On Saturday morning, Trooper Garvin of the Indiana State Police Bloomington District was patrolling Interstate 69 in Daviess and Greene Counties while working a special patrol named "HIDTA" (High-Intensity Drug Traffic Area) that is funded by the National Drug Council Policy. The mission of this patrol is to reduce drug availability in our communities through drug trafficking enforcement actions. During the above-mentioned patrol, Trooper Garvin was able to identify such drug activity on two separate traffic stops.

At approximately 10:56 am, Trooper Garvin conducted a traffic stop on a black truck traveling at a high rate of speed northbound near the 82-mile marker. During the traffic stop, Trp. Garvin's investigation revealed that the male driver who was identified as Spencer Lowry-Hulett, 27 years old, and his female passenger, Lindsay R.
