Kanawha Deputy J.L. Miller was on patrol Monday afternoon when he noticed a pickup truck heading west on Call Road in Sissonville.
The deputy ran a check of the license plate and found the vehicle to be fraudulently registered, Lt. Bryan Robbins said in a press release.
Miller pulled over the vehicle and identified the driver as Jeffrey C. Potteiger, 26, of Charleston.
The deputy determined Potteiger did not have a driver’s license and had $1,142 in cash and four Lortab tablets in his possession, Robbins said.
Deputy C.D. Lyons and his police dog, Phoenix, searched the exterior. When the dog detected the scent of drugs, a further search revealed 16.4 grams of marijuana and digital scales.
Potteiger was taken into custody and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, forgery of registration, driving while revoked for DUI and driving without insurance
