ELKHART COUNTY- Friday night an Indiana State Trooper discovered more than he was expecting after stopping to help what he thought was a disabled motorist on the Indiana Toll Road.

Trooper Nikolos Anderson says he stopped to help what he thought was a disabled motorist that was sitting on the right shoulder of the Indiana Toll Road near the 90 mile marker of the westbound lanes.

As Anderson approached the black Ford Fusion he saw that the driver appeared to be sleeping. Anderson says he then noticed a syringe cap in the center console and a syringe still stuck in the left forearm of the driver.

During a subsequent search of the vehicle, Anderson located 34 packets of suspected fentanyl, 26 syringes, 8 pills initially identified as methadone, and 2 packets of suspected Suboxen.

The driver, 38-year-old Lance Leffler of Conway, AR was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance, Possession of a Syringe, and Possession of a Legend Drug. Leffler was taken to the Elkhart County Jail.
