HENDERSON, Ky (WEHT) – Evansville Police arrested a Haubstadt man when they allegedly found two pounds of meth in his work truck.
EPD states this dated back to January 2023, when detectives stopped Michael Hagedorn and found meth in his car. Bret Stinson was identified as the passenger.

After Hagedorn’s arrest, police say detectives started receiving tips that Stinson was dealing meth out of his work truck.
Police state detectives received information from a DEA source that Stinson would be making a trip to Louisville to pick up a large amount of meth.
Detectives followed the truck Saturday into Sunday when Stinson came back. EPD says during the trip, Stinson was speeding and running a red light before stopping at a gas station on Morton Avenue in Evansville.
That was when detectives reportedly asked for consent to search the truck.
Authorities say K9 alerted to the precense of narcotics, and during a judicially signed search warrant, nearly two pounds of meth were found in the truck with 5.5 grams of marijuana.
